To whom Maithree Referred to as “Devil” during his Recent Jaffna Visit?

In one of his speeches made in Jaffna recently President Maithreepala said, that if you weaken me, devils would raise their heads. Social media has highlighted this and interpreted that Maithree referred Mahinda as the devil.
When journalist questioned Mahinda about this, he said that he didn’t refer him as devil. Further he said when we get angry we use to tell “don’t arouse the devil in me” (Mawa Yakka Avusanna Eppa) and that too was like that.
This government is like the snake charmer whose snake died. People lost confidence in the government. Even the Tamils who voted this government to power hate them now. Who is postponing elections? Is it the devil’s incarnation? He concluded.
