Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka completely denied the white flag statement today (May 12) at the Colombo High Courts adding that the statement which was reported in The Sunday Leader was a complete fabrication.
The Leader reported an alleged statement made by Fonseka which revealed that LTTE leaders who had surrendered under a white flag had been executed upon the order of the Defence Secretary. He further stated in courts that the journalist had distorted a reply that he had given to a question that she had put forward in her own words in order to build this story.
He added that in his 40 years of service to Sri Lanka he has never acted against the Sri Lankan Military.
