Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s most frequent outings in the past few months has been his visits to the FCID and the Presidential Commission probing large scale fraud and corruption.
This week when he was at a party hosted by Western Province Councillor Sarath Sumanasekera, another WPC member Merrill Perera asked the former President how he tolerated the repeated onslaught of allegations and accusations against him by the Yahapalanaya government. The former president replied: “When a man is beaten up by the Police, the first time he finds it very difficult to tolerate. The next time he becomes a little hardened and then the third time even more till it becomes no problem to him. I am also like that. I am well tempered now.” He added that visits to the FCID, the Presidential Commission and prison had become routine for him.
