The Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition
Sajith Premadasa raised a privilege issue concerning the security of Hon. Rohana Bandara, stating that repeated delays in addressing it could endanger him. He requested that security be provided immediately in accordance with the report submitted by security authorities led by the Anuradhapura Deputy Inspector General of Police, rejecting claims that the matter was an internal party issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, as Leader of the Opposition, I too have a responsibility. When a privilege issue on Members’ security is raised and is being repeatedly delayed, what fate would befall Hon. Rohana Bandara if the required security is not provided? I request that, in line with the report submitted by the security authorities led by the Anuradhapura Deputy Inspector General of Police, security be provided to him. This is being diverted by claiming it is an internal party matter. There is no such issue.
¶ 02 Please allow me to continue. There is no internal party issue with Hon. Rohana Bandara. Direct that the required security be provided forthwith.
