Leader of the House Dinesh Gunawardena today requested Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeygunawardhane to intervene to provide security to former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
He told Parliament that Mr. Wickremesinghe stated that there were plans to surround his house and if that is so, intervene to provide him with security in consultation with relevant authorities.
He said it was not the democratic practice for any political party to intimidate any MP over statements made in the House.
He said this after Mr. Wickremesinghe claimed that a group of people were planning to surround his house. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)
