Sri Lanka does not need external guidance on reconciliation, Defence Secretary Gotabhya Rajapakse has said. “It will only act on its own accord”, he told the inaugural National Reconciliation Forum which began in Colombo today(24).
“It is only the people of Sri Lanka, but nobody else who understand the ground situation of the country very well. It is them who are now reaping the benifits of peace after suffering from terrorism for more than 30 years”, he added.
He also emphasized that Sri Lanka will realise the goal of national reconciliation, with the same determination in which it acted to defeat terrorism.
