Former Colombo Municipal Councillor Mahinda Kahandagama, who was among those who was beaten by protestors on May 9 last year said he was performing an act when he was being beaten up in the pursuit of survival and gaining sympathy.

Expressing his sentiments on the remembrance of May 9 last year, when peaceful protestors were attacked, he said he was thankful to the Aragalaya for making him a political leader.

"Now, I don't need any publicity as I have become so famous due to what transpired in the aftermath of the Aragalaya," Kahandagama said.

Commenting on the Aragalaya, Kahandagama highlighted that it was a conspiracy and the activists were oblivious to it.

Moreover, he said he was so used to bathing in the Beira Lake and it was not something new to him. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

The Pettah pavement shop keepers would tell you horror stories of how this scumbag earns money. A Leech sucking blood from humans. Political prostitute and opportunist. Waste of space.

Was that a PEACEFUL PROTEST? when the US instigated strugglers/ARAGALAYALISTS storming into the Presidential Secretariats to destroy everything, and KILLED a parliamentarian?
