The latest government fraud has been severely attacked by the opposition. United National Party (UNP) accused the government that the war to capture Thoppigala was a carnival held after putting the lives of the children in auction.
UNP Media Unit chief Lakshman Kiriella made this expression at a press briefing held at the official residence of the Opposition Leader this morning.
Mr. Kiriella launched a scathing attack at the government's effort to highlight the battle for Thoppigala in a media carnival and stated that the area was captured by the government troops on 28 April 1992. He said that he had all documents pertaining to the written handover of the command and governance of the Thoppigala Brigade Command to the Sixth Sri Lanka Light Infantry Independent Group by the Seventh Brigade of the Sinha Regiment commanded by Lt. Colnel K.M.D.U.M. Kandaragama.
Mr. Kiriella also said that the demography of the Eastern Province was an equal blend of Tamil, Muslim and Sinhalese communities and the LTTE could not capture the power there. He said that the security forces could capture power in the Eastern Province at any moment and the most important factor was not stationing troops there but capturing Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi. He pledged UNP?s fullest corporation for that and said that UNP appreciated the capturing of Jaffna.
He also said that the international community did not raise the human rights issues when the UNP government established power in the Eastern Province in the period of 1992-94 and 300,000 people were not displaced like this.
Mr. Kiriella said that the international community never said to stop war or the campaign against terror and they always urge the government to secure the human rights. He pointed out that over thousand people disappeared in the Northern and Eastern Provinces and 5000 were killed, half of them civilians. more...>>
