Jaffna District Member of Parliament Ramanathan Arjunan states that despite receiving death threats, he has not been provided with security by the government, and therefore, he keeps a sword for his protection. He says he has informed the Speaker of Parliament and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) about this.

The MP pointed out that he had previously requested security in writing on two occasions due to threats to his life, but received no response from the government.

The MP mentioned that he requested a pistol for his protection but was denied authorisation by the government for that as well.

Following that, he requested a ‘Spray Gun’ used for animal protection, but again, he received no response from the government.

Therefore, MP Ramanathan Arjunan further stated that he now keeps a sword for his own safety, which is always kept in his motor car, and that he has taken steps to inform the Speaker and the IGP of this situation.
