Higher Education Minister S. B. Dissanayaka yesterday claimed that many university lecturers, who were participating in the FUTA strike, had informed him that they would like to resume duties.

Even the lecturers in the Jaffna University had informed him of their desire to give up the strike and work.

"They have realized that it is a meaningless strike. I have already received many letters from the university lecturers, who have now rejected the strike. Eleven Jaffna lectures haves sent letters to me, expressing their wish to disengage themselves from the strike," Minister Dissanayaka stressed.

He pointed out that the JVP-backed trade unions were behind the strike.
