Conspiracy to sabotage Forces’ operations bared

Desperate attempt to bring disrepute to country internationally:

COLOMBO: A conspiracy has been bared to sabotage the ongoing military operations by the Security Forces who are trying to salvage the country from the clutches of ruthless LTTE terrorism after liberating Mavilaru, Sampur and Vakarai sacrificing the precious lives.

According to sources, these conspirators are making a desperate attempt to bring disrepute to the country internationally giving the impression that the Security Forces have recorded these victories in Mavil Aru, Sampur and Vakarai after reaching an agreement with the LTTE.

These sources said that the conspirators are trying to show that the Security Forces have bribed the LTTE to withdraw from these areas when the troops were advancing towards these areas.

The conspirators are trying to give this wrong impression to the public through the distribution of false audio cassettes, CDs, hand bills and by inserting information in newspaper reports.

The intention of these conspirators is to reach their petty political objectives by shattering the boosted morale of the Security Forces following the LTTE’s major defeats in the face of recent military operations.

It has also been revealed that this was also a part of the mud slinging campaign against President Mahinda Rajapaksa and other leaders of the Government showing that the Government had reached an agreement with the LTTE.

Politicians from various political parties and political analysts see this situation as a treacherous act by a section of people to reach their petty political objectives betraying the country and the patriotic Security Forces who are sacrificing a lot for the protection of the Motherland.

JVP Parliamentary group leader Wimal Weerawansa yesterday told Parliament that they are always with the Security Forces and praised the Security Forces for liberating the people in Vakarai and Sampur from the clutches of LTTE terrorism.

Agriculture Minister Hemakumara Nanayakkara, participating at the Emergency debate in Parliament yesterday said that a section of people always tried to belittle the victories of the Security Forces for their narrow political gains.

The Minister said people should be vigilant about the views expressed by some people as they are trying to sabotage the ongoing process to defeat terrorism in the country. “We should always commit ourselves to protect our Motherland whether we are in the Government or the Opposition”, the Minister added.

The Security Forces also condemned these attempts by these conspirators questioning them as to why the LTTE lost more than 700 cadres and lost the largest ever arms haul in Vakarai, if they really had an agreement with the Security Forces.
