| So
said President Mahinda Rajapaksa, in his address to
the nation at the Neganahira Navodaya – New Dawn
in the East – ceremony to honour the Security
Forces for the liberation of the East from the LTTE,
held at Independence Square, Colombo, today.
The President said: “There
is no country other than Sri Lanka, where the criminal
act of conceding a legal area of control to terrorists
has been implemented through an agreement.
It is the debunking of the myth of such an area of control,
and the shattering into smithereens of the crowning
terrorist fantasy of Eelam that our brave soldiers who
captured Thoppigala have announced loud and clear to
the entire world.”
