SLMM HAS NO MANDATE TO COMMENT ON THE SOVEREIGNTY OF SRI LANKA – DEFENCE SPOKESMAN
Addressing the media briefing at MCNS today (07) Defence Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that the SLMM has no mandate to comment over the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Sri Lanka. The Minister made these comments citing an English daily which carried a story under the heading “SLMM notes increased Govt. spy plane activity over Wanni”
Responding to questions over the Government’s stand on the Cease Fire
Agreement, Minister Rambukwella said that “If it is violated to the
extent that it is not worth carrying on any more it’s up to both parties
to inform the people who have come in between. We as the Government have
said on a number of occasions to re-look at it. We are prepared to give
that option”
GOSL not concerned with British Parliament actions regarding the
conflict in SL
“We are certainly making adjustments in the Air Force to meet the Tiger
Air capability threat. We are doing our best to see that adequate
defence is done as fast as possible. We are very confident that the
process is on and that it will reach the target”
