After ‘eradication’ of 30 years of conflict Sri Lanka searches for ‘attackers in uniform’

After the complete eradication of 30 years of conflict, those who were present at the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) meeting at A’laveddi last Thursday have said that attackers had come in ‘uniforms similar to those of the Army.’ The SL Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has therefore directed Jaffna Army Commander Major General Mahinda Haturusinghe to inquire into the incident and take into custody those who were involved and punish them, said SL state run newspaper Daily News on Monday. The TNA parliamentarians in a press meet Friday said that they could identify two commanders of the Sri Lanka Army who led the Army assault on them Thursday.

According to Daily News, the TNA members who met SL commander in Jaffna Maj. Gen. Haturusinghe told him that the people of Jaffna appreciated the SL Army’s services.

The way the place and personal names are reported in the news show how foreign the land and people of the country of Eezham Tamils are to the SL state run Daily News, commented a reader in Jaffna.
