We at Fonseka2010 campaign are shocked to read plans by newly appointed army commander Jagath Jayasuriya to scale back expansion of the army and to release IDPs at an earlier date than planned.
Only last Monday, General Fonseka had promised Sri Lankans in the North that temporary army camps will be made permanent and that IDPs will not be released until all terrorists hiding amongst them are successfully filtered.
Earlier, General Fonseka had promised to expand the army by an additional 100, 000 men and women.
Jayasuriya, meanwhile, has said he has plans for extension by only 20, 000 personal. He has also divulged plans to allow IDPs to return home in about a year, much earlier than the planned three years that it would take to successfully weed out terrorists.
“People's Fonseka2010” campaign has a manifesto obligation to, “Security: Increase Army's strength to 300, 000 and overall military strength to 500, 000 men and women; consolidate the armed forces into a Sri Lanka Defence Force structure, thereby blurring the lines between the various forces.”
General Fonseka led our valiant troops in the mission to successfully eradicate terrorism from our motherland. Today he is hailed as the greatest General in the world.
We believe that all military decisions and decisions regarding nationals security must be taken by General Fonseka and not junior level commanders like Jayasuriya.
