In a recent development, former Member of Parliament K.P.S. Kumarasiri announced that police protection has been assigned to the residence of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s mother. According to Kumarasiri, while the house is currently unoccupied, security measures have been implemented to ensure safety.
During a media briefing in Anuradhapura, Kumarasiri highlighted that the removal of security for former parliamentarians, combined with public displays of police vehicles, appears to be a political maneuver. He emphasized that, although he personally feels no threat, many MPs experience various dangers, urging the government to take full responsibility for their safety.
This action reflects ongoing concerns about the security of political figures in Sri Lanka, particularly in the context of recent political tensions and public unrest. The decision to provide police protection for the President’s family member underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring safety amid rising threats to political leaders.
