For­mer At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan SC says crit­ics of the Gov­ern­ment’s pro­posed Stand Your Ground law should give up their US visas if they are se­ri­ous about op­pos­ing the leg­is­la­tion.

Speak­ing at a pub­lic con­sul­ta­tion at the Fyz­abad of­fice of MP Dave Tan­coo on Fri­day night, Ram­lo­gan said, “To all those per­sons who are go­ing to speak against this bill, if you so against Stand Your Ground leg­is­la­tion, give back your US visa. Stop go­ing Mi­a­mi and Flori­da to shop and say on prin­ci­ple, I do not sup­port Stand Your Ground leg­is­la­tion. So I'm not go­ing by Un­cle Sam.”

He added, “All of them peo­ple crit­i­cis­ing this leg­is­la­tion, give them a chance, they lin­ing up from the two nights be­fore to get their visa to go and want to live [in] Amer­i­ca… where this law ex­ists… where they will feel safer… where they will find a peace of mind. But why? You know why? Be­cause of laws like this.”
