State Minister of Defence Ruwan Wijewardhane said that there was no need to provide lands to LTTE supporters or to reduce security in the North and East.
“We are only providing required land for the people living in the area", he said.
According to him, there is no requirement to remove military camps from the North and East to provide lands to LTTE supporters. Some groups are spreading such rumors to gain narrow political gains.
“Those lands are released in line with the ongoing reconciliation program under the guidance of the President and Prime Minister. There won't be any actions taken that would compromise National Security”, he said.
