Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya said that unlike some of previous commanders he always listens to everyone who comes to him.Addressing senior officers at the Army Headquarters yesterday the Army Chief said, “Unlike some of former Commanders, I always listen to everyone who comes to me. I used to listen to their viewpoints and be sensitive to their pulses. ‘I am always approachable.”
The army headquarters in a statement quoting the Commander also said that there was no severe breach of discipline reported among the troops in the past couple of year. “… a factor that all of us can be happy and proud of. It is you who all made these projects possible and effective with the support you received from your ground troops. We must strive hard to sustain that record,’ the Commander quipped.
Recapitulating all what the Army has been doing since he took office after humanitarian operations brought about the culmination of terrorism, the Commander spelt out the series of progressive projects that had so far been undertaken and successfully performed, it said.
He recalled the ever-growing friendly ties with foreign Armies on Army to Army basis and close relations that exist. Those relations are the most recognized during my tenure of office.

There are Commanders and Puppets
Which one you belongs to !!!Calistus Jayatilleke Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:54 AM
We know what he is insinuating. The former Boss was busy trying to eliminate terrorists and had no time for gossip or to listen to tittle tattle from the top. Of course, now there is nothing else to do other than supervise the Seva Vanitha work and reminisce heroic adventures of the brave predecessors.
Manik Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:41 AM
You are listening to others but did others listen to you during the war? They listened only to GENERAL FONSEKA.
Leslie Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:54 AM
It makes a lot of sense and very well said General Jagath Jayasuriya!
Coconut Donkey Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:25 AM
If the key to winning a war is to prove a reactionary response from your 'enemy', they it clear for all to see who the better Commander is..
Kautilya Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:25 AM
Listening to someone is the only work I have.
Matalan Wednesday, 18 July 2012 03:50 AM
Is this ethical, to insinuate so negatively against your former boss? - Yet, your present boss would no doubt say - "Hear, hear!"
kumara Wednesday, 18 July 2012 03:31 AM
Since others have done their duties to the nation, you can listen !!
con Wednesday, 18 July 2012 03:07 AM
Yes nothing to do, so better listen to all the gossip!
