Close ties with India were crucial for war victory-Gota
Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa yesterday said President Mahinda Rajapaksa went out of the way to keep New Delhi briefed about all new developments taking place in Sri Lanka and continuous discussions between the two sides during the war ensured that whenever any sensitive issue arose it was resolved immediately.
Speaking at the 'Defeating Terrorism: the Sri Lankan Experience,' seminar organized by the Sri Lankan Army to share its war experience, Mr. Rajapaksa said in 1987, the enormously successful Vadamarachchi Operations had pushed the LTTE to the brink of defeat and these operations could not be sustained because the Indian Government intervened. "The primary problem in 1987 was that the relationship between the two countries had not been managed effectively", he noted.
From the time of his election, President Rajapaksa went out of his way to keep New Delhi briefed about all the new developments taking place in Sri Lanka. He understood that while other countries could mount pressure on us through diplomatic channels or economic means, only India could influence the military campaign.
"From early in the military campaign, the relationship between Sri Lanka and India was managed through maintaining a clear communications line at the highest level. A special committee was established to engage in constant dialogue. The Sri Lankan side comprised then Senior Advisor to the President Basil Rajapaksa, Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga and myself", he added.
"The Indian side comprised former National Security Advisor M. K. Narayan, then Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon and then Defence Secretary Vijay Singh. This troika had continuous discussions and ensured that whenever any sensitive issues arose, they would be resolved immediately", he said.
Over the years, a range of different approaches including military campaigns, peace talks, and even international mediation had been tried. None had worked. With a large global financial network, highly developed offensive capabilities and no genuine interest in peace, the LTTE was a stubborn, hostile and formidable foe, he said.
By 2005, the LTTE controlled almost a quarter of the country's territory and nearly two thirds of its coastline. Under an internationally brokered Cease Fire Agreement, the LTTE even maintained the illusion of a state apparatus in the areas under its control, he said.
He said, "By the time our military campaign resumed in 2005, the LTTE had killed more than 26,000 armed services personnel. This was no small band of militants, but a large, sophisticated military force comprising approximately 30,000 cadres, a very large arsenal of weapons and equipment, and thousands of civilians organized as auxiliary forces.
The combined strength of the Armed Forces in 2005 was nowhere near the number that was actually required for a serious campaign to eradicate the LTTE. This fact was clearly understood by the President, and the decision was made to expand the strength of the military.
There were many key factors that led to the success of the Humanitarian Operations. Perhaps the most important and critical factor was the President's decision to expand the Armed Forces. One of the first things we realized when we studied the previous military campaigns were that the Sri Lankan military was always superior to the LTTE.
Between the end of 2005 and the end of 2009, the Army's 9 Divisions were increased to 20; its 44 Brigades expanded to 71 and its 149 Battalions increased to 284. This was a large, but essential expansion that increased the number of Army personnel from 120,000 in 2005 to over 200,000 by the end of the Humanitarian Operation.
