Navy refutes bogus 'reportash' by B.Raman
Sri Lanka Navy wishes to unequivocally deny with no uncertain terms the contents under sub heading 08 of the article appeared on the page 06 of 'The Island' on 12th September, under the heading 'Vavuniya Raid- Conflicting Versions' written by one gentleman by the name of B Raman ( South Asian Analysis group) who is said to be an Additional Secretary (rtd), cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India, New Delhi, and, presently, Director, Institute for Tropical Studies Chennai, as it contains an erroneous and false citation and a bogus quotation referring to the official web site of the Sri Lanka Navy.
Sri Lanka Navy wishes to state that it maintains and updates only one web site namely http//www.navy.lk, and therefore, the Navy plainly and undisputably denies the reference made to the Sri Lanka Navy therein under subheading 8 '..., the version given by the Sri Lanka Navy in its web site did admit some damage to the radar, but claimed it was slight'.
Moreover, the self acclaimed writer makes a bogus quotation stating that 'A web blog run by the Sri Lanka Naval Intelligence' is said to have stated 'Reports indicated that the radar system was slightly damaged after a bomb fell close to it'.
