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)

Why spent state money on a person who has been rejected by people to parliament? He has unlawfully entered parliament from the back door. Is it because he is a Rajapakse sympathiser? Why is Dinesh Gunawardena concerned about RW? There are other people who are providing an invaluable service to community, who's lives are threatened by the thugs in government, what about the security of those people? What nonsense is this?

Anae Dinesh, you are showing lot of concern, simply to buy the only UNPer in that mad house. You and Ranil should retire and stay at home.

RW is not a peoples representative as he was snot elected by the people. In fact he was rejected by the people. What is his entitlement to have state sponsored security at tax payers expense
