Colombo, August 5 (Daily Mirror) – Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today brushed off concerns over the government’s move to slash privileges granted to former Presidents, saying the real privilege lies with the people.

Responding to reporters in Colombo, Rajapaksa said he was not concerned about the government’s attempts to remove certain benefits, suggesting it was being done out of political vengeance.

He also remarked, Medamulana is much better than Wijerama Mawatha,” referring to his private residence in Hambantota compared to the official residence provided in Colombo.

They can remove any privileges from us. What matters is the privilege I have from the people,” he added.
