Sri Lankan State Minister for Defence Ruwan Wijewardene said the present government was capable of stopping “terrorists” and would not do anything to endanger national security, as he addressed youth in Colombo.
Speaking at Temple Trees, Mr Wijewardene reminded the gathering of the UNP’s history in the ethnic conflict, stating, “UNP led governments too fought the LTTE in the past, even the late President D. B. Wijetunga was able to wipe out the terrorists from the East”.
“We too are capable of stopping them in the event they try to regroup,” Mr Wijewardene added, stating the present government would not be doing anything to harm “national security”.
