The Sri Lankan military's spokesperson, Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya rejected reports of army camps being stoned and the Tamil Eelam flag being raised in Jaffna following the presidential win of Maithripala Sirisena, and stressed that there was no threat to the military in the North.
"Information spreading about several incidents like hoisting the L.T.T.E. flag in Jaffna, groups pelting stones at army camps and explosions are merely rumours spreading through social media," Wanigasooriya told Ceylon Today.
"Army further assures that there will be no room to disrupt the law and order in the respective provinces," he reportedly added.
