Colombo, December 24 (Daily Mirror) - Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has received death threats from ISIS terrorists and LTTE groups, Vice President of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Lawyers’ Association, Manoj Gamage, disclosed.

He informed the media of significant security concerns following the withdrawal of military personnel from Rajapaksa’s security detail.

Gamage criticised the Public Security Ministry's decision to replace the remaining armed military personnel with police personnel for the former President’s protection, calling it inadequate given the severity of the threats.

He further expressed concern that replacing experienced military personnel with police personnel compromises the safety of the former President amidst these critical threats.

Very good Mahinda supporter. Please contact a private (that some guard company) and provide additional security at your expense. We the citizens do not have any security even from a bee's sting.

People are not going to fall for this nonsense on false pretences. Approx. 60 armed police personnel is more than sufficient for ex-presidential security. Also, there is no need for the military to be involved. If there are genuine security concerns they should be reported for further investigation.

The rest of the county besides his cronies do not care. The people should not provide free labour to pick coconuts at his estates bought with pilfered public funds. Nissanka Senadhipathi should provide all security required to protect him from the threats from people whom he harmed when in power. His time on this Earth has been up for sometime now. It is the common voter who would wish to witness him and his sons hanged in public on Galleface grounds.
