Sri Lankan is jubilant over the resounding military victory gained by the Armed Forces and the Police under the leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Chairman Consumer Affairs Council Upali Senaratne said.

Senior attorney Senaratne emphasised that ‘In a way, it would not be an over exaggeration to claim that President Mahinda Rajapaksa is perhaps one step away from being the most serious and the most deserving contender for the coveted Nobel Prize.

That would, most importantly, be a resounding victory for Sri Lanka and her people,” he said.

The victory was gained after nearly three decades of war against the most dangerous and ruthless terrorist outfit in the world. When many of our previous leaders were skeptical over the ability of our Forces to take on and defeat LTTE terrorism, President Mahinda Rajapaksa steadfastly stood by the Armed Forces and the Police and gave them strength, support and leadership to extirpate terrorism and show the world that terrorism is not invincible,” Senaratne added.

Senaratne said the people of this country are beholden to President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and the brave and valiant Armed Forces and Police Force for bringing terror to an end, as well as for paving the way for greater development and prosperity.

“Now, it is time for all of us to rally behind President Mahinda Rajapaksa to develop the North, the East and the entire country, to give the people a much deserved peace,” he said.
