LAST SUPPER OF ARUMUGAM THONDAMAN IS SAME OF JESUS HE IS BETRAYED BY HIS OWN FAMILY

As per Pohottuwa Parliament is dead how can there be another minister? Mahinda is in Pohottuwa, how can he even be considered a member of the Parliament as per the constitution as Pohottuwa was not a party that contested the last election?
