However Leftist Janatha Wimukthi Peramuna (JVP)has criticised the move by saying it is hard to believe that postal allowance of MP"s need to increase by such an amount as due to the new technology adapted by the Postal services the amount need to spend for that has been decreased .
JVP Has also stressed the need to look in to whether the MP's are utilising the Postal allowance provided to them annually correctly.
