Anyone found guilty on a credible war crimes investigation would be dealt with the necessary punitive measures, Army Commander Lieutenant General Daya Ratnayake said. In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Leader, he maintained that the Army did not treat the appointment of a Three-member Advisory Council as a 'betrayal' of the forces. 'The government has appointed this committee to advice the government and we have nothing to be concerned about as we have only done our duty. We are a professional army and we don't mind anyone investigating our actions as we have done nothing wrong,' he added.

  

He further noted that the Sri Lankan army did what no other army in the world facing a ruthless organization would do by stopping firing heavy weapons. 'The government decided to stop using the heavy weapons during the last stages which was a huge sacrifice for us but it was the greatest sacrifice in order to protect the civilians. We did not even use large deployments during that time but we used small groups and as a result, a good number of our soldiers lost their lives,' he added.

Asked why the Army was reluctant to use the evidence available to prove its innocence, he alleged that those making all the allegations did not want to listen to the truth.

'They are simply not interested in the truth but they simply want to prove their allegations. Various organizations have conducted investigations and surveys regarding the casualty figures, etc. and these figures are readily available for anyone to clarify. We have gone beyond the call of the Army's regular practices in order to facilitate any investigation to prove our innocence, but they are simply not interested and they are trying to destabilize us,' he said.
