Former Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa said he suspects a return of the LTTE, while speaking at a rally after a Buddhist ceremony in Anuradhapura.
"I have a suspicion that we may return to see terrorism. We don't want to see that happening we want everyone to live in peace and harmony," Mr Rajapaksa said according to ColomboPage.
The former president had previously accused the current government of risking the security of the country by “relaxing” some restrictions in the North-East.
