Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka appealed to security forces not to implement unconstitutional and unlawful orders given by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who introduced himself as the Acting President.
He said in a statement that there was a rumour that shooting orders have been issued to security forces and that there would be a serious escalation of clashes between the civilians and the security forces.
He urged the armed forces as a lawful and disciplined army, not to open fire at unarmed civilians and that their weapons should be pointed at the currupt politicians.
He said he was in the struggle and committed to achieve the victory of the people's struggle.
