Austin Fernando, the-then Defence Secretary told LLRC: ’’ The peace process of 2002/3 failed because Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe didn’t carry even the senior parliamentarians with him. These senior parliamentarians kept quiet when the then-Opposition opposed the peace process. In the future if we are going to do anything of this nature we must develop a strategic vision and consensus from day one’’ –https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxbk4wYolphwYWU1MWUyM2YtYmMwOC00ZWRjLWEyZDEtOGJjOTIzMDEyYjVj/view
