29 Oct 2018

The security of former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has been reduced 1008 to 10. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Pujith Jayasundara had issued the instructions to reduce Wickremesinghe's security as he was no more the Prime Minister. UNP General Secretary Kabir Hashim had told The Sunday Morning earlier that they had been informed that President Maithripala Sirisena had ordered Wickremesinghe’s security to be reduced. He said that on hearing the news, the UNP had contacted Speaker Karu Jayasuriya and requested him to intervene and ensure the security given to Wickremesinghe is maintained. Hashim said that the UNP urged the Speaker to take steps to ensure the status quo with regard to the Prime Minister’s Office also remains till Parliament convenes again next month. Mahinda Rajapaksa took oaths as Prime Minister on Friday night but Wickremesinghe insisted that he was still Prime Minister.
