Boyagoda who was a captive with LTTE and lived in Mullaitheevu for a long time. He has written a book. In he says that after beating the attack of going on leave. To prevent this, a check post were established and navy men who go on leave were checked there. Not only jewelleries and other things, but also old family photographs were captured from them, he had said. If that is so, this stands as an evidence that  our cultural symbols also were destroyed, the minister said.
