The army is not solely responsible for Weliweriya incident says SF

Former Army Commanderand the leader of the Democratic Party (DP), Sarath Fonseka says some politicians like the ‘alternative group’ are attempting to use his political party as a ladder to stopover when they have issues with the leaders of their own political parties having their own agands”.

He further sais that it would not be allowed and it is not a place for trespassers, but a place to solve national issues,” he said. Fonseka said that “the Democratic Party is open to anyone who accepts the policies of the party but we will not make an alliance with anyone who think of only their own progress”. Fonseka also said that it was not fair to solely blame soldiers on the Weliweriya incident as the soldiers got their orders from the top. He said the new Army Commander, Defence Secretary and the President are fully responsible for the lives lost during the clashes.
