Sri Lanka's new Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Sarath Fonseka today said as the main person who defeated the world's most dangerous terror outfit, suppression of the country's underworld is a trifle for him.
Speaking to the media after assuming duties as the CDS, General Sarath Fonseka described the suppression of the underworld as a lower kindergarten activity.
General Fonseka said he expects to support the finalizing of demining activities and resettlement process in North as soon as possible.
The new CDS took office this morning following religious ceremonies. All the heads of security forces, Air Force commander Air Chief Marshal Roshan Gunathilaka, new Navy commander Vice Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, new Army Commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasooriya, Inspector General of Police Jayantha Wickramarathna, and outgoing Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Donald Perera were among the main participants of the occasion.
Meanwhile the new Army commander Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasooriya, an old boy of the Royal College in Colombo, also assumed duties this morning as the 19th Commander of Sri Lanka Army.
