Archbishop refuses bullet-proof vehicle provided by Ranil

One of the bullet-proof motor vehicles allotted to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasingha is to be given to Malcom Cardinal Ranjith for latter's travelling purposes as anticipated by the Prime Minister yesterday (29). But what was reported today was that the Cardinal has refused the offer. 

Prime Minister's office has informed that steps were taken to grant this bullet-proof vehicle for protection of the Cardinal after the incident of suicide bombing on Easter Sunday at Catholic
churches. A spokesman of Temple Trees informed that the said bullet-proof vehicle will be afforded to the Cardinal with a well-experienced chauffeur for Cardinal's travel. However, what Archbishop informed at a media briefing today was that when he was informed about such a gesture, he had declined it saying that he was not in need of such a vehicle.
