Govt.’s own Minister Pillayan extols Fonseka as the war Hero

Eastern province Chief Minister Pillayan of the Govt. could not but extol and admire General Fonseka as a war Hero and who performed his duties well. He did his best for the Nation . It is very unfortunate that after he entered mainstream politics following his successful Army career as an Army Commander who defeated the LTTE , the Govt. is making all kinds of complaints against him ,he added.

 
It is significant to note that while the Govt.’s Minister is making such praiseworthy comments and credits him with the war victory  , the Govt.’s Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapkse at an interview with the Singapore Strait Times a day after,  had disdained and discredited the world acclaimed undisputed War hero as not contributory to the defeat of the LTTE in a major way , and he did not play a key role ., adding that any other Commander could have accomplished what Fonseka achieved .

It is a common maxim that even to appreciate  one must be possessed of  wisdom and judgment, and greatness is in acknowledging the greatness in others.
