Video: Gota regrets ending war
Former defense secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said yesterday he now regretted to have finished the war because he had to undergo lots of trouble as a result of doing so.
Mr. Rajapaksa expressed these views when he came to the Presidential Commission of Inquiry appointed to investigate serious acts of fraud, corruption and abuse of power, state resources, and privileges (PRECIFAC) yesterday, to give a statement over the Rakna Lanka armoury.
Mr. Rajapaksa said he has had to report to all these commissions as a result of ending the war.
“Today I feel sad to have finished the war. I have had to report to all these commissions just because I finished the war. None of these commissions would be there, if I had not finished the war,” he said.
Mr. Rajapaksa said he might have to report to the UNHRC as well to give statements following the release of the UN report over the alleged war crimes.
He said the UN report was totally based on the needs of the Tamil Diaspora and said what the Diaspora wanted was to punish the security forces and the then political leaders.
Mr. Rajapaksa said he hoped that the President and the Prime Minister would not agree on a move to punish security forces or political leaders by an international court.
