THE GOVERNMENT is not prepared to give into International and domestic pressures and abandon the on going operations to free thousands of innocent civilians taken hostage by the ruthless terrorist Prabhakaran, Defence Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said yesterday in Kandy.
He said the Government has the biggest responsibility to free these civilians than any other Government or State and the best effort is currently being made to fulfil this responsibility by the Government.
“No one will be allowed to breath life into the dying LTTE and no amount of pressure could deviate the Government from its current stance,” Rambukwella assured commenting on recent calls by several States for a halt in the military operations.
The Minister said they have learned enough lessons from past ceasefire deals with the LTTE and it was very clear in its vision with regard to its future course of action with the LTTE. (Courtesy: Daily News)
