Personal firearms not needed for MP protection – Sarath Amunugama

(UTV|COLOMBO) – There is no need for personal firearms for the protection of parliamentarians, says MP Dr. Sarath Amunugama.

He pointed out that he has never carried a firearm in the 25 years of his career as a Member of the Parliament, nor has there been an issue with the firearms of his bodyguards.

Amunugama says his personal opinion is that it is a great drawback if public representatives cannot go before the public without guns.

He expressed these views at a press conference held in Kandy.
