Strict action will be taken against anyone who attempts to bring in separatism after being overjoyed from the results of the Northern Provincial Council election, says the Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, Lt. Gen. Daya Ratnayake.

The Army Commander made this comment while addressing the Army soldiers during a tour in Vavuniya.


Army Commander pointed out that if a certain group, blinded by the victory received from the polls and thinking that they have got themselves a separate country, is trying to provoke the Army, then they will have to be severely dealt with.

Stating that everyone will be able live happily until they live inside the frame of democracy, Gen. Ratnayake warned that if anyone tries to divide the country, their heads would part from their bodies first.
Reminding the Rathupaswala Army attack, the Army Commander further stated that strict action will also be taken against the soldiers who violate the military discipline, despite the rank.
