Foreign Ministry sources said that after taking over from former Deputy  Permanent Representative Bandula Jayasekera, Major General Silva is  expected to “clear the air” over the concerns being raised at the UN  regarding Sri Lanka and the final stages of the war against the LTTE  which ended last year.Major General Shavendra Silva was allegedly among those mentioned by MP  Sarath Fonseka in a media interview where he had said that the former 58  Division Commander had received orders to shoot at sight LTTE suspects  who came with white flags to surrender to the army during the final  stage of war. Fonseka was later indicted in Court over his claims.During the war as the 58 Division Commander, Major General Shavendra  Silva was instrumental in the military capturing several former LTTE  strongholds including the Mannar rice Bowl, Nachchikuda, Devils Point,  Pooneryn, Kilinochchi, Elephant Pass, Vishvamadu and Puthukudirippu. <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/6062-shavendra-to-un.html" target="_blank">(Daily Mirror online)</a><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" />He's on a mission to catch White Tigers this time<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
