In times of a country being free from war or a threat of terrorism, the establishment of ‘high-security zones’ is not necessary, unless the rulers living in it are living in fear, said Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka.
He emphasised that only the rulers who are afraid of their people in a peaceful country need the establishment of such zones, suggesting that the decree to establish ‘high-security zones’ in Colombo demonstrates how afraid Ranil Wickremesinghe and the leaders of his government are of their people.
Based on the conduct of Sri Lankan rulers at present, the establishment of ‘high-security zones’ in a handful of areas would not be enough to save themselves, the Field Marshal went on, adding that the government should have established ‘mobile high-security zones’ every time they make a move from one place to another.
