Commenting on the Akuressa incident where former President Mahinda Rajapaksa seemed to be moving towards a supporter angrily, the ex-president said that he just pushed away an individual, a supporter of SLFP, who grasped his finger very hard.

“A strong SLFP supporter clasped my finger. He seemed to be under the influence of liquor at the time. The grip was so hard that it could have broken my finger. I just pushed him away. What else could I have done to save my finger,” the former President said while addressing another meeting yesterday.

what would you do if someone hang on to your finger and not let you go?

Its very clear who the culprit is and we have eyes to see what really happened.

If a former President behaving in this manner is no issue, then we know where we are as a nation.

He said something unethical too,, like he would have shed tears from the unmentionable place. That is if the finger was twisted more. Well you be the judge

ANTON Thursday, 23 July 2015 08:54 PM

Siribiris Thursday, 23 July 2015 06:13 PM

Mahinda Sir, In your language "Push" mean "assault"...??

simon Thursday, 23 July 2015 04:04 PM

So what is the big issue here ?

Sikuru Thursday, 23 July 2015 03:59 PM

Do you push people with your fist in the air?

Calistus Jayatilleke Thursday, 23 July 2015 03:58 PM

Oh what a tragedy. MR now needs protection from his own supporters.
