Some comments and public discussions depict the anger and jealousy some people have with university students. This is due to the limited quota of annual entrants selected to the local universities on competitive basis. However irrespective of student feedback for private university openings, the minister is unnecessarily intractable and is acting like a bull in a china shop. Such a shame -- this man has been appointed for the position held by C.W.W. Kannangara and Iriyagolla.

If their parents could not teach them values and discipline, then it is the duty of the legal system. Very good move by the Magistrate. However, this same clout of the law should apply to illegalities perpetrated by the state machinery against its own citizens.

Very good move. They don't understand the value of free education. People are pawning their houses to educate children. Moreover these rascals should be give final warning. if they found guilty for any more incidents to sack from the Uni education.

Actually this students can learn and go for jobs, they are doing this for future kids all the A/L students. Why SB can't put another 15 local universities other than private then they can intake more.. then every people can study, whether he/she rich or poor.. So many people of Srilanka not selected to the local universities so they have some jealous(thatz the truth). If you select to the University you will be protecting Srilanka free education too.. Now the government way is wrong , they arrest Gen Sarath Fonseka.. any one of Srilanka can't accept it..SB is doing the same thing. I don't why r they doing this? i think with a 1 private university they can get more(pagawa).
If you ddnt get a chance to go ur Son or daughter will.. So think about it..

it seems that people who have no idea about what these students demanding. i feel sorry for people of this country. the poor are doomed, no doubt. i was a university student once and i jolly well know the hardships these students face. most of the people who comment here do not have empathy....sorry folks its not for JVP even this limited opportunities for poor students is long gone. just my two cents..

Government is playing with students life. They close all universities and open prisons every where.

Govt. is going with there agenda to open private universities by creating issues in side the universities and letting students to come out, protest and then put them into prison and rest at home.

These students should know when the thing hits the fan, It is only their parents going to be around. There is nothing wrong with non violent protests, But utmost prority for them to finish their education ASAP and make way for other students to join. Tax payer spend a great deal of money for the free education and they should appreciate it.

Good move. The undergraduates should realize that even the universities come under the law of this country. They enjoy free education thanks to tax paying citizens of this country. Therefore, the responsibility of undergraduates is to study not to do picketing and behave like uncivilized tribes. It is good authorities tough on them.
