Congratulations, Defence Secretary!
This is to thank you for enlightening patriotic public on a night
recently, of the Government's determination to fight terrorism. What
touched us most on a lovely Sunday Night was your solemn pledge of
finishing this menace, and not leaving this problem to our next
generation.
Being a parent I think most parents will pray that the Blessings of
The Triple Gem will be with you and the brave soldiers to achieve that
noble duty of saving our beloved COUNTRY!
It was very humble of you to give full credit of all the victories to
the valiant soldiers who are behind weapons as it is not weapons that
make the difference but men who are behind them.
I have visited the East before and after your Government cleared it
from the ruthless terrorists who ruled that part of our country. You
should have invited the so called arm-chair critics to visit the East
and assess the development you have done there.
You should also request them to visit the East and speak to the
people who have been living there to find out how happy they are now. Or
better take them there at Government expense and let them find out the
truth.
I have been a chairman of a Corporation and have been a working
committee and an executive committee member of the United National
Party. I do not think you should answer to the people who want you out
of the position you are holding. Have courage as the whole nation is
behind you. As they say Rome was not built in a DAY!
Thank you for not blaming the past regimes and opposition politicians
(which has been the practice) during your interview!
You have shown the whole country what a OFFICER and a GENTLEMEN you
are!
D. Jayanetti, Bandarawela.
