MAHINDA CLARIFIES ABOUT AKURESSA INCIDENT (video)

After the sensational video about former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had allegedly got

entangled in a conflict was publicised he spoke about it for the first time at a rally held yesterday.

What he says is that an SLFP supporter fond of him had tried to hold his finger and because he did not want to have his finger broken he had pushed the man aside and got away. This is how he spoke about it:
                         "yesterday he clung on my hand; it looked like that he was drunk .... a good SLFP fellow. The way he got hold of my finger it would have broken off. So I brushed him aside like this .... without pushing, clinging on to it am I to get my finger broken? So for that I am being thrown mud".
