I fasted not to get myself bailed out -- Wimal Weeravansha

MP Wimal Weeravansha who created news by attracting public attention by engaging in a fast recently when under remand has addressed a weekend newspaper after being released on bail and in that interview he has said that he starved himself

This is what he said about it: "I didn't think that I would be bailed out when I fasted. Then in that case my lawyers would stop asking for bail, isn't it? When something is rejected, lawyers bring forward another proposition. I fasted to awaken a strong public opinion about this political hunting. That was to protest against this hunt launched by the government to create a political barrier. I think that someone in jail hasn't many opportunities as such to protest against. There's only one method to make a protest when jailed. That's the protest shown by starving. That I did. That was done for the purpose of launching a protest to awaken the public against the continuous process of political hunting of this government bent on a pariah agenda.
