Hands off Defence Secretary:GR and security forces ............. MEP
Mahajana Eksath Peramuna (MEP) Leader Dinesh Gunawardene MP warns the United National Front and the UNP in particular not to undermine the Defence Secretary and the Sri Lanka Security Forces.
In a statement issued to the media he says: "Presidential Candidate Sarath Fonseka, in his treasonous declaration to the Sunday Leader newspaper, has stated that on 17 May 2009, the Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa ordered the commander of the 58th Division, Shavendra Silva to shoot and kill the Tiger leaders who were preparing to surrender bearing white flags.
UN special rapporteur Philip Alston has quoted this statement and has queried from the Government whether it was true, that if it were inaccurate its falsity needs to be proved.
Mr Sarath Fonseka has made his statement, which betrays completely the sacrifice and dedication of our brave war heroes in defeating Tiger Terrorism, after joining with the United National Party.
In the past, the United National Party has, together with local and foreign reactionaries, striven to prevent the victory of forces and to fulfil the tasks required by the Tiger terrorists.
We do not forget the efforts by foreign reactionaries to interfere in the liberty and sovereignty of our motherland.
It was the ability of the Government led by the President to overcome these efforts which caused the defeat of the Tigers and the triumph of our motherland.
Notwithstanding this, the strategy of the Tiger coalition headed by the United National Party, which acts together with foreign reactionaries, is to prepare the way for a great betrayal by presenting treacherous lies to institutions within the United Nations which they feel they can use.
The scheme of the United National Party and is allies is being activated through Mr Sarath Fonseka's assertions.
The Mahajana Eksath Peramuna, urges the masses to rally and prevent the UN special rapporteur from laying hands on the Defence Secretary and the Security Forces who strove towards the victory of our motherland.
The Mahajana Eksath Peramuna calls upon the people of this country to unite to defeat the reactionary machinations to introduce foreign forces into the interior of our country by the plotters and schemers of the United National Party coalition, the representative of whom is Mr Sarath Fonseka, said the statement.
