Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, there are 225 popularly elected Members of Parliament in this country and I am one of them. We raised our security concerns with the Minister of Public Security. I had a grave life threat in the Ampara District. I made the necessary complaints to the Inspector-General of Police and to the Minister of Public Security. Even at a meeting chaired by the Hon.

Leader of the Opposition on the security of people’s representatives, I request that you take appropriate action.
