Is the motherland going to be destroyed? I will involve changing the dire situation’ said the Former Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka on Sunday (25) in Washington. He said this while he was visiting the Buddhist temple in Washington.
The Sri Lankan ambassador to the US Jaliya Wickramasooriya and the Defence attache Maj. General Samantha Sooriyabandara abstained from the event. The Chief monk Maharagama Dharmasiri Thero gave the blessings to the former army chief General Fonseka.
" Most of the people are talking about our victory these days. In the last 10 days of the war, we lost more than 5,000 soldiers to the Tigers. If they didn't sacrifice their lives, this war would not have ended. We must first salute the martyrdom of those war heroes," General Fonseka said at the temple.
"Now the war is over, Tamil people must be given freedom to live. We should not contribute towards creating a situation that can give birth to another Prabhakaran. We should not allow the country to go on the wrong path. If this happens I am ready to correct the path leaving behind my uniform" he further said.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Vihara welcomed General Saratha Fonseka's comments with the loud applause.
During his visit to the USA he will be meeting his two Daughters who are currently pursuing higher studies in the US.
