Chief of Defence Staff General Sarath Fonseka last week
dismissed speculation of the possibility of his seeking a political
career saying he didn’t want to lose his popularity within 24 hours.
Addressing a packed press conference at the Joint
Operations Headquarters, the war veteran recalled the fate of two of his
senior colleagues, Maj. Gen. Laskshman Algama and Maj. Gen. Janaka
Perera who perished in LTTE suicide attacks.
Referring to UPFA MP Mangala Samaraweera’s assertion
that he wasn’t even suitable to command the Salvation Army, Fonseka said
that the MP wouldn’t have made that ridiculous statement had knew the
difference between the Salvation Army and the Army. (SF)
