Disgusting, Didn't you think when you sentence SF through a kangaroo court that his life would be in danger if he is in walikada prison where hard core ltte terrorist are detained.Government reduce your security after a threat assessment procedure. You have no threat except from flies and mosquitos.

Both instances were immoral, illegal, and wrong. The NPP will be sent to the dustbin and go down in history for this action, which undermines the actual situation. Watch and see. The vast majority of NPP voters were not JVP backers. They have been Pohottu party followers.

Samantha this is only a fulfillment of a promise made by NPP at the time of election and not taking revenge from MR as MR did previously when he was the leader of the country. Apart from that this is the first time in history that a political party once in power is discharging what they have promised according to the policy book issued to the nation and all the times such books were thrown in to the dust bin and the case in point was MR s Suba anagathayak.

You told the nation that you finished them all. By the way, you changed the constitution with 18 and so you should know that with the majority it can be changed and so, even if you win, it wouldn't have any effect, would it?

I thought MR was a brave man to face any threat? He has proved to the world and the nation that he is not. May be he feels more comfortable when he is surrounded by men fully armed!

War ended more than 16 years ago. What a big lie. Sarath Fonseka does not have any government security and he is the major person who ended the war as it was he who planned everything in battlefied. If you have a security concern, get some private security guys with yournown money or pls expire yourself soon. You are the one who destroyed the economy completely with useless projcts which hardly make any profits to the nation.

WHAT A JOKE!!. THE NERVE TO EXPECT THE GOVT AND/ OR TAX PAYERS TO PAY FOR HIS SECURITY TILL HE GOES TO HIS GRAVE!! TIME TO USE UP FROM THE NEST YOU FEATHERED DURING YOUR TERM/S IN POLITICS, THAT WOULD LAST YOU A LIFETIME AND MORE THAN CAN GO DOWN TO YOUR FAMILY. NEVER THOUGHT PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH COULD STOOP SO LOW, BUT THEN AGAIN IT IS HOW ONES PARENTS BRING UP THEIR CHILDREN AND SEND THEM INTO THE BIG WIDE WORLD.

Good move by MR.Security reduction of MR should be based on inteligence report and not by AKD.

Don't make a mountain of a molehill of your security detail. At least think of the resources which have been allocated all these 12 years after the main leader was annihilated and the war was ended when these monies could have contributed for the upkeep of many helpless public to have three meals per day. Having so many forces looking after your security is a nonsense as these forces at most times are idling leave alone security living a cushy life at the expense of a person who have had the best. This is selfishness of the highest order the public purse cannot continue to be squandered. There is a retirement age for every public servant the public are disgusted that's why your party was sent home lock stock and barrel since they do not have respect for your past deed which was richly compensated with luxury inspite of you and your regime never have the decency to safeguard the public purse. In valueless people there is a time when the public will get duped but not all the time!!!!!!!

Hey Mahinda! You have become a real nuisance to our country now. Why don't you quit from politics, go to medamulana and spent your balance life? It's good for your health also.

This man is still greedy of power he is mentally as well as physically unfit he can’t even walk and he is hobbling. At the final stage of his life if he needs to get the sympathy of the general public he has to behave calmly instead of being boisterous or adamant

Why about your fundamental rights? Why don't you file a case against the then government for FR violations when Keith noir, Lasantha, Thajudeen, Richard de Zoysa, Ekneligoda were kidnapped and butchered? Unlike you, Fonseka and other Armed Services leaders paid through loss of blood and limb when liberating the Nation from the grip of LTTE. Shouldn't they be given the foremost of security over people like you, who only worked from a comfy room?

Mahinda AKD has given 60 strong Police Officers, why you need additional. If you want you hire Private Security out of your looted money. Don't try to eat the country as you did in the past, please don't be so rood at this dying age.
