This is a good move. What about the guys inside the parliament?
Excellent move to have proper security.
The special forces should also be able to cover the Presidential Secretariat, Central Bank, residences of our leaders and key installations.
What we have in hand is a significant threat to our security with Kumara Gunaratnam (FSP), Wasantha Mudalige, Teacher Union’s Scarecrow, Stalin, Gamman, Gonwansa and Champika Ranawaka etc. on the loose because of the liberal freedoms granted by Prezzo RW.
Yes, the Nation’s security including chemical attacks, are looming and we should be prepared.
