* ‘The Army Commander appointed the board about a month ago to formulate the
Action Plan. The board has almost finished the draft’
An Action Plan detailing how recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and
Reconciliation Commission(LLRC) report could be implemented in the country’s
North, will soon be handed over to the Ministry of Defense by Sri Lanka Army.
Acting Spokesman for the Sri Lanka Army, Brigadier G V Ravipriya yesterday
told the Daily News, a board comprising senior officers of Sri Lanka Army had
formulated the Action Plan on how to implement the recommendations stipulated in
the LLRC report.
Army Commander Lt. Gen Jagath Jayasuriya had appointed the board about a
month ago to formulate the Action Plan, he said.
“The board has almost finished the draft,” he said. “The Action Plan will be
handed over to Army Commander Lt. Gen Jayasuriya for perusal , who will hand it
over to Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Army is considering making a documentary film about
LTTE leader Prabhakaran’s death.
Army Commander Lt Gen Jayasuriya had told Army troupes in Oddusudan that a
film would be made to explain to the international community how Prabhakaran
died in the battlefield. Acting Spokesman Brigadier Ravipriya said the movie
would be made with a view to dispelling various doubts and falsehood that had
manifested around his death.
The so called diaspora and pro-LTTE elements together with their
international sympathizers across the world have been saying that Pabhakaran
suffered an inhumane death at the hands of Sri Lankan Security Forces.
"The film will be made so that the real story of Prabhakaran's death is known
to the international community. It will depict what really took place and
happened," he added.
"The project of the film is at the initial stages. This is expected to bring
the truth to light," he said
