Defence Secretary Rtd.General Kamal Gunaratne said that there has been information that certain elements were attempting to incite violence under the guise of peaceful protests.

In a video statement released today evening, Gunaratne urged all citizens to act with patience during these trying times and refrain from engaging in any unlawful acts.

"The Sri Lanka Police and the three Armed forces have been empowered to take action against anyone engaging in any form of violent act. We requested the public to render their support to the security forces who are always committed to protecting the motherland and the people," Gunaratne said.

The Defence Secretary's statement comes on the eve of islandwide protests scheduled to be held against the President and government.

Is this the same source that informed that there will bomb blast in churches? If so, then it is reliable and as such take it seriously. What is the violence any person can incite? As usual, it is the religion /race and end up targeting the minorities. Rajapkses are adapt in this gimmick.

These stooges who use the forces to protect corruption and mismanagement of the country should be put behind bars for treason. They are the cause for emboldening criminals to plunder the country.
