Meeting the representatives of the relatives of missing persons, President Maithripala Sirisena promised to fulfill the demands of the relatives. During a meeting held at the Governor’s Secretariat, for short time he said that “you should have met me long ago”

  • I will order the Armed Forces in the Security Council meeting tomorrow to find out what
    happened to persons who surrendered to the Army.
  • If you suspect they are being held in secret camps, tell me the location and I am prepared to take you there.
  • I will ask the Armed forces whether they are holding anybody in detention, and if so, to publish their details.

The representatives commenting on the meeting said that, they came to the meeting with hope that the president will come with solutions. But he shortened the saying lack of time but he read the whole memorandum in the meeting and had promised to take action accordingly. But if he fails in his promises our form of struggle will change.
