Minister of Public Security Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekara has revealed that the Special Task Force security assigned for Tamil National Alliance MP M. A. Sumanthiran was removed on his orders.
Speaking to Hiru Tv, the Minister said the special security was removed, as Sumanthiran had participated in a protest march despite claiming to have threats to his life.
Minister Weerasekara pointed out that if Sumanthiran’s life was in threat, then he would not have participated in a public event.
He further said the Police protection provided to all Parliamentarians will continue to be provided to MP Sumanthiran as he is entitled to it.
The Minister of Public Security further said steps will be taken to ban certain extremist groups and madarasas in the coming days. (NewsWire)
