Don’t be misled by rumours

In the backdrop of victories of the Security Forces defeating LTTE terrorism, some opportunistic elements are spreading rumors to mislead and cause panic among the people, states the Media Centre for National Security in a press release.

The Government is deeply concerned with the vicious move by disgruntled elements and appeal to the people not to be misled by the baseless rumours. The Government stresses that these rumours are baseless and false.

When the Security Forces are engaged in a heroic mission to eliminate terrorism, these unpatriotic elements are trying to cloud the victories against terrorism.

The Ministry of Defence, Public Security, Law and Order, Tri-Forces and Police have dedicated themselves to ensure maximum security to the people of Sri Lanka under the able guidance of His Excellency the President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Commander-in-Chief.

Therefore the Government appeals to the people not to be panicked and to engage in their day-to-day activities without any fear.
