However according to him, Kumaratunga had claimed if Fonseka is appointed he will stage a coup and come in to power. Many in the political arena felt that way about Fonseka. In the end he was appointed just one month before he retired due to the request made by Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa from his brother President Mahinda Rajapaksa. This is why the Army officer no one liked to become the Commander gained the post, because he was needed to win the war and eradicate terrorism.
