The Government yesterday strongly rebutted claims by Indian leaders that Sri Lanka would stop the war against the LTTE. “There was no call by the two visiting Indian emissaries for a cessation of hostilities,” Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, told The Sunday Times.
In an unprecedented move, the government is to appoint an Appeal Court Judge to serve concurrently as the Commissioner-General of Inland Revenue while the present Tax Chief S. Angammana has already been moved to the Finance Ministry, government officials said yesterday.
