It is high time UNP did something worthwhile. Everyday they come up with some gimmick to attract public attention but never talks about the destruction carried by LTTE. They are trying to agitate people against a strong government who have a wide representation. Tissa Attanayake, Ravi Karunanayake, Mangala Samaraweera, Jayalth Jayawardana, Rani Wickramasinghe has done enough damage to Sri Lanka and at least at this stage accept their wrong policies and help the government to eradicate terrorism. It is interesting to note how a T55 Russian Build Tank arrived in Sri Lanka straight in to tiger arsenal. Who gave approval for this importation? Who was the head of government who should be charged for treason? All the weapons found in the tiger territory shows that we have been dealing not with regular terrorists. We have been actually fighting a real war with a brutal force of strong military capability.
