If not
for the
public
support,
victory
would
not have
been
possible
with the
international
pressure
and
political
conspiracies,
said
President
Mahinda
Rajapaksa
joining
in the
issue of
a
commemorative
note in
the
denomination
of Rs
1,000 by
the
Central
Bank to
mark the
ushering
of peace
and
prosperity
to Sri
Lanka
under
the
President’s
leadership.
The
President
noted
that the
commemorative
note
would
for ever
remind
the
future
generations
of the
value
and
importance
of the
historic
victory
over the
forces
of
terror
which
plagued
the
nation
for
nearly
three
decades.
“We
had to
face
many
challenges
when
eliminating
terrorism
from the
country
within
this
short
period
of
time”,
he said.
We
must be
able to
build a
stable
future
using
past
experiences,
the
President
said.
The
Nation
must
move
forward
bearing
its past
values,
he
further
said.
“As
the
President
of the
country
and
Commander
in Chief
of the
Armed
Forces,
I feel
honoured
and
privileged
to have
given
leadership
to this
struggle
which
freed
the
country
from the
scourge
of
terrorism,”
President
Rajapaksa
said.
