Although he was unable to ensure another term in office, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is still a favourite among the public especially as a wedding witness and a chief guest at openings of functions and religious activities.
Last Thursday proved to be extra busy as he was reportedly invited to witness for 09 weddings during that day.
These weddings included a wedding of an artiste's son, which was held in Mt. Lavinia.
However, 10 minutes before the auspicious time for the signing, Mr. Rajapaksa was required to witness for another wedding in Colombo.
As it was impossible for the former President to travel from Colombo to Mt. Lavinia in 10 minutes, he has kindly urged the artiste to invite another witness.
Deeply disturbed, the artiste has said he would drink poison and commit suicide if Rajapaksa did not turn up and a funeral would take place instead of the wedding.
Hearing this, Rajapaksa has explained he had declined as he won't be able to make it for the auspicious time because he was required to be elsewhere 10 minutes prior.
"To hell with the auspicious time... I will wait until whenever you can make it sir..." the artiste has reportedly retorted.
