Former Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said there was no reason for the minorities to hate him.

Speaking to reporters outside the Permanent High Court at Bar, Rajapaksa said that when he was the Defence Secretary, the war at the time was against terrorists and not civilians.

He said that as a former military officer, he feels he had served the country well.

Meanwhile, the Permanent High Court at Bar yesterday heard the case against Rajapaksa. Rajapaksa was accused of misusing State funds to build the D. A. Rajapaksa Memorial Museum when he was the Defence Secretary.

The Permanent High Court at Bar is to convene again next month to hear the case. (Colombogazette)
