Undue fear regarding national security based on false propaganda is not required due to the travel restrictions imposed by the U.S. State Department says Defence Secretary General Kamal Gunaratne (Retd). Issuing a special statement, the Defence Secretary stated there is no base on the false propaganda disseminated with regard to likely terrorist activities on the island and the general public should not be panic about security. He further emphasized that the Ministry of Defence, the Armed Forces, and other law enforcing agencies have well-established national security. The Defence Secretary, therefore, informed that there is no need to create undue fear on national security. There has been no change to the terrorist threat level, the Embassy said.
