Though some slung mud at me ... all what I said is true. I participated in a protest too, at the age of 4 years -- Chathura Senaratna

Member of Parliament Chathura Senaratna was a character who was mostly talked about across the social media during the past few days. The reason for it was certain incredible matters of interest about which he had spoken about at an interview on Derana 24-7 Channel. 

At this interview he had stated that he who was born in 1982 and had been involved with Late Vijaya Cumaratunga in 1988. He even explained information about how he went with Chandrika Madam to check the bank account of Late Vijaya Cumaratunga. In addition to that he also stated that he provided information to Victor Ivan for the book 'Chaura Regina' against Chandrika Madam. Apart from these matters Chathura who spoke incessantly about Politics as 'there was nothing that he did not do' further stated in that discussion that though he was requested thrice by President Maithri to grant him the highest positions in the government, he continuously rejected them. 

This talk was seriously criticised by the social media as a case of 'boasting' which cannot be acknowledged and a media reporter on contacting Victor Ivan over the telephone had inquired from him about a remark made regarding him in which instance he rejected Chathura's story, responding "Lies ... madness ... if at all I may have discussed just twice over the phone ... that's all". 

On this background the BBC Sinhala Service subjected Chathura Senanayaka once again for an inquiry; in that instance too he reiterated and confirmed that all what he said earlier was not wrong. On that occasion he went on to present further points saying that he even joined a ralliy on behalf of Vijaya Cumaratunga in school when he was 4 years old, which remark brought a smile on the face of the presenter. He even remarked that Victor Ivan had told a lie. The video where he explained this, from below
