Army Commander Lt. Gen. Jagath Jayasuriya yesterday alleged that Darusman's panel report contained unsubstantiated allegations targeting the Sri Lankan military and deliberately attempting to tarnish the image of the President, Secretary Defence, Government, and the tri-services.
Addressing the troops at the Eastern Security Forces Headquarters at Welikanda, the Army Chief commented on the controversial UN report saying that the allegations were based on mere hearsay and irrational assumptions.
He further said in his capacity as Wanni Commander during that period of the Humanitarian Operations, he was well aware of the operations in the battlefield as well as in the enemy's territory and how the Sri Lankan forces fought the enemy with courage.
