His intention was to get rid of the Indian Forces occupying Sri Lanka at that time. And Premadasa's main public promise during his election campaign was to get rid of those Indian Army platoons (IPKF) from Sri Lanka. So he had to do it unofficially. He thought LTTE is like JVP led by Nandasiri (Rohana) Wijeweera. They (UNP) thought after getting rid of the Indian Army, they could easily win the war with LTTE by using the tactics he used to get rid of JVP. But he was wrong.</blockquote>
