University teachers' march

September 28, 2012, 7:50 pm , The Island

This march started off from Galle on 24th September, and their modus operendi was to force the Government to give in to their demands.

If the striking dons and teachers think that a march from Galle to Colombo could solve this problem when other avenues failed, they are mistaken. Even as I write this comment, the march is on (Sept. 26).

But what has happened now? The March has been 'devoured' by the U.N.P, J.V.P. and other disgruntled politicians. Persons like Rosie, K D Lalkantha and Ranil himself said that "this should be the first step towards the defeat of the Government or something to that effect.

I blame the university academics for tolerating this nonsense.
