President addressing a political rally in Hanguranketha in support of the UPFA candidates contesting the Central Provincial Council election said that all facilities would be made available for LTTE cadres who want to surrender.

"The whole country has united against terrorism and no one will be able to stop the forward march of the troops," said the President.

President Rajapaksa categorically stated that he was repeatedly making this call to the terrorists on the basis that the operations carried out by the war heroes were irreversible and irrevocable.

“We have amply shown to the world, the manner as envisioned in the Mahinda Chinthana how my Government envisages rejuvenating the country”, he said.

President Rajapaksa pointed out the contrast where the Vanni children were provided with a T-56 rifle and a Cyanide capsule, while their counterparts in South were in school with books and in white uniforms,” I have a prime obligation and a bounden duty to change this”, he added.
