MPs to be secured whose whose wrath and anger? These are gang wars so unless a MP is a gangster, they have nothing to fear. This is opposition scaremongering

Please order the IGP to investigate Namal Rajapakshe who is responsible for the Courts incident. If no action is taken promptly, your seat is also not secure.

If one is to analyse all the recent killings there have been some animosity between the victim and the killer or who engaged the killer. If the Politicians lead a clean life they need not be scared

That's right!! To hell with public safety! Look after yourselves just like the SLPP, UNP and SLFP Govts did. While you are at it, beef up the security for all past Presidents too.

Opposition MPs have track record of haters Saturday, 22 February 2025 08:39 AM

No one, but the mentally weak have any beef with government MPs. However, the opposition MPs are old timers often being in parliament more than 10 years. They have stolen so much, and been so crooked, public despises them. Let them fall, and country will be better off. There are a dozen replacements whenever a MP dies of natural causes already. No loss to the public, when Opposition MP is replaced

If MP's have not been working with the underworld or not corrupted they do not have to be afraid of nothing. No one will want to shoot or murder harmful people. You created the underworld and now they are coming after you. So pay and get private security.

It's a occupational hazard, no need of security for MP's.
