S.B. Divaratne, who heads the Presidential Task Force overseeing resettlement, said on April 2 that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is known to have taken over more than 2,000 acres of residential properties belonging to Muslims in the North and given them to its supporters during the war, reports Daily Mirror. He said the lands grabbed by the LTTE had been occupied by some people for more than ten years and therefore there were practical difficulties when it came to moving the occupants out of these lands. This has resulted in the Government having to find alternative land to resettle the displaced Muslims. He further said “Though some 23,000 Muslims families, displaced from their original places of residence had consented to be resettled in the North after the war ended, nearly 15,000 had been resettled, particularly in the Mannar District. We want to resettle the remaining 8,000 families as well. Yet, their lands are occupied by others. We cannot take back these lands. Instead, we have to find them alternative lands elsewhere in the North.”

The first part of the Army’s Court of Inquiry (CoI) report which was handed over to Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa by Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya on April 10 stated “The instances of shellings referred to in the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) report were not caused by the Sri Lanka Army and civilian casualties might have occurred due to unlawful acts by LTTE,” reports Daily News. The Army said in a statement “These acts include firing at civilians fleeing to the safety of Army held areas, dropping of artillery rounds fired by ill-trained LTTE gunners on to civilian concentrations, employment of sub-standard artillery rounds obtained from illegal sources by the LTTE, forced conscription of civilians including children and old people by LTTE for combat purposes, thus exposing them to danger.”

Tamil National Alliance (TNA) on April 11 dismissed the report by an Army Court of Inquiry that absolved the Army troops of any civilian deaths during the final phase of the three-decade long war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels, reports Colombo Page. The Army Commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya presented the report on the first part of the military investigation into the alleged deaths to the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on April 11. The Court of Inquiry, after examining the accounts of senior field commanders and others who had participated in the offensive, has concluded that the military operation was conducted strictly in accordance with the "Zero Civilian Casualty" policy directive made by the President. TNA parliamentarian Suresh Premachandran rejecting the report said that it is a "joke" for the Army Court to conclude that Army had not killed a single civilian during the war. The TNA parliamentarian rejected the facts contained in the report as completely untrue.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa on April 23 stated that “the only way to eliminate the scourge of terrorism from the world is to understand its true nature and fight it for what it is, instead of giving terrorism various definitions and tags”, reports Daily News. The President said his Government will never allow anyone to take up weapons against the country and shall not leave room for anyone to divide the motherland. However, he lamented that when fighting against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Sri Lanka had to seek foreign help largely to get weapons. “We need to do research and as Sri Lankans’ we should produce what we need in our own soil. This is how we can add value to our hard won peace,” he added.

Sri Lankan Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York Ambassador Major General Shavendra Silva on April 27 said that the United States and other western countries should understand that terrorism wherever and in whatever form is terrorism and it should be eliminated, reports Colombo Page. Speaking to the national radio Major General Silva said bombs used in the Boston attack are similar to the bombs used by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka. Highlighting that still arms and ammunitions are being recovered from the former battle fields in the North and East, the UN envoy said placing Security Forces (SFs) in those areas is not a matter to be considered in a different perspective.
