Strengthen Opposition Leader’s security: SJB MP

Colombo, July 14 (Daily Mirror) - The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) urged the government to strengthen the security for Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa indicating that US style attacks on candidates could take place during the Presidential election.

SJB MP Eran Wickramaratne told a media conference today that he had told the government to strengthen the security for Premadasa as soon as he heard about the attempt made on former US President Donald Trump’s life during a rally at Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“The government is responsible for the security of Sajith Premadasa, therefore I request the government to enhance his security,” the MP said.
