The present regime will never do anything which is harmful to the national security, State Minister for Defence Ruwan Wijewardene said today.

Addressing a Youth get together at Temple Trees the State Minister said there is no truth in the statements that are being made by the Opposition that the LTTE is raising its head in the North because of certain actions by the present regime.

“UNP led governments too fought the LTTE in the past, even the late President D. B. Wijetunga was able to wipe out the terrorists from the East and we too are capable of stopping them in the event they try to regroup,” Mr. Wijewardene said.

He said the present regime will continue with the democratic reforms as it had done during the recent past. “We have allowed the judiciary to carry out its work independently and introduced the 19th Amendment,” he recalled while stating that the 20th Amendment is the next price of legislation which will bring about political reforms.( Yohan Perera)

national security depends on establishment of a knowledge base economy. As long as we depend of garment workers, housemaids etc (and loans) for our income there is no secirity

LTTE will wake you up when they are going to re-group. Untill then have a good sleep.

if it was so easy to wipe out Terrarism what were our Soldiers doing over twenty five years? This statement reflects on your very shallow knowledge on National Security.

D.B.wijethunga would have been in Colombo. The War was fought by Soldiers led by Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka. But I have never heard Terrorism in the East was wiped out during D.B.Wijetungas time.

"Tamil only north" is no difference to LTTE war. Negotiate the settling of Muslims and Sinhalese in those areas then reconciliation will start slowly. Western world will never let you to do this but it what we should do.

This Minister must join a Volunteer Regiment and get himself mobilised for active military service. If Sri Lanka to have a War in the future he must lead one of the Battle filers. Then he can not hide and also the advantage is enemy will laugh and die when they see him.
