Former President Ranil Wickramasinghe’s security has been completely withdrawn from today (06).
Accordingly, it is reported that a situation has arisen where it is impossible to keep even a police constable for the former president.
Until now, former President Ranil Wickramasinghe’s security was provided by the Presidential Security Division.
On higher orders, former President Ranil Wickramasinghe’s security has been removed.
According to police sources, the reason for this is that Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe did not approve a separate presidential security unit with cabinet approval in connection with his eighth presidential term before the presidential election.
However, it is also reported that there are separate security forces for former presidents Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, Maithripala Sirisena, Mahinda Rajapaksa and Chandrika Kumaratunga.
In this regard, the police will issue an official announcement tomorrow, and some security forces will officially withdraw from Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe’s security duties from tomorrow.
Why do you need special security for any ex presidents. Who in their minds will harm these aged good for nothing beings. May be provide one cop with a gun round the clock with ability to call in support if necessary.
Because he knows about national security and all those secrets about the country, every country protects their ex-presidents.
