The military today refuted allegations made by Minister Douglas Devananda on the security situation in the Jaffna Peninsula.

“The military totally refuting those claims,” Jaffna Security Forces Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe told Daily Mirror.

Minister Devananda told Parliament yesterday that fear psychosis is present in the North and the crime rate is on the rise in Jaffna.

Major General Hathurusinghe also said that the army had begun routine night patrols while assisting the police in maintaining law and order in Jaffna. “The crimes are related to burglaries, killings and other criminal activities by civilians which are mostly based on personal disputes”, he said.

There is definitely some sort of law and order breakdown over there in Jaffna, however much the police claims otherwise. If not how do one explain the abduction and murder that is taking place there. Douglas probably is scared to go there as he is unpopular and fear for his life-hence his claim of fear psychosis.

This guy was accused of taking money from LTTE. And am sure he himself is rioting Jaffna together with Karuna for Money.

It is high time that we sideline the rogues and take the Peace that we won after much much sacrifices forward.

The same military denied killing of those unarmed Tamils who surrendered holding white flags.
The International community knows the facts.
keep denying till you sink in Indian ocean.
