The Government is not prepared to give into International and
domestic pressures and abandon the on going operations to free thousands
of innocent civilians taken hostage by the ruthless terrorist
Prabhakaran, Defence Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said
yesterday in Kandy.
He said the Government has the biggest responsibility to free these
civilians than any other Government or State and the best effort is
currently being made to fulfil this responsibility by the Government.
“No one will be allowed to breath life into the dying LTTE and no
amount of pressure could deviate the Government from its current
stance,” Rambukwella assured commenting on recent calls by several
States for a halt in the military operations.
The Minister said they have learned enough lessons from past
ceasefire deals with the LTTE and it was very clear in its vision with
regard to its future course of action with the LTTE. |
