The Jatika Hela Urumaya (JHU) yesterday protested the government’s attempts to dilute the Sri Lankan Army by transferring and reappointing Army and intelligence top brasses to service pool, administration levels and Foreign Service.
Reacting to the appointment of top notch Intelligence office Major General Kapila Hendawitharana as Sri Lankan ambassador to Thailand JHU pointed that the government is supplementing the 22 year old attempt by LTTE to destabilise the sovereignty of Sri Lanka and gaining an Eelam in North and East.
Highlighting previous cases where top brasses of Army had been transferred out of context giving into the pressure by LTTE and TNA, JHU General Secretary Ven. Omalpe Sobitha Thera urged the Military and public to rise against the sudden transfers of the top military brasses, which could weaken the country military line up.
“The LTTE continues to hunt down Military and Intelligence officers while hiding behind a one-sided Cease Fire Agreement (CFA),” he said adding that the government move is in assistance to the LTTE.
Ven. Thera also pointed out that the present inertness of the Sri Lankan government in defending the interest of Sri Lankan military insults the 18,000 military personals who died and 25,000 who were disabled while protecting the sovereignty of the country.
Meanwhile North and East Sinhala Organisation (NESO) writing to the President and Joint Military Operation Head, Daya Sandagiri also urged them to stop the lightening transfers of the top military and intelligence officials in the North and East, interrupting the present ground defence operation implemented by them.
They urged the President not to provide security to LTTE members while they are launching violent attacks against the Sri Lankan Army, Police and Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil civilians.
NESO also urged the President Kumaratunga and Navy Commander Vice Admiral Sandagiri to grant approval for the Military forces to fire back when confronted by LTTE as self defence and to provide weapons to unarmed intelligence members of the Sri Lankan Army.
While pointing out that the LTTE violence against innocent civilians in the North and East in increasing daily, NESO requested the government grant permission for the civilians to carry weapons for self defence.
