An overseas LTTE network was working against Sri Lankan interests, Mahinda Rajapaksa told crowds at an election rally in the south of the island.
Urging the public to vote for the ruling coalition, the Sir Lankan president said that the ‘victory’ achieved at the end of the war would be maintained following the election, reports the Colombo Gazette.
Rajapaksa added that people in Sri Lanka needed to continue to fight against terrorism and ensure that the LTTE does not raise its head in Sri Lanka again.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
