President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday warned that despite the defeat of the LTTE in Sri Lanka, the country still faces a threat from the LTTE network overseas.
Speaking at an election rally in Panadura, the President noted that LTTE supporters living in foreign countries have formed a Parliament of their own and are working against Sri Lankan interests.
He said that the country needs to be vigilant against the actions of these groups operating overseas and those supporting those groups from within Sri Lanka.
Rajapaksa said that the Government and the people of Sri Lanka need to continue the fight against terrorism to ensure the LTTE does not raise its head in Sri Lanka again.
He urged the public to vote for the betel leaf at the 8 January election and ensure the victory achieved at the war is maintained following the election. (Colombo Gazette)
