This is the conscience of the nation that the wretched pin president and his uneducated stooges are suppressing using draconian measures. This type of suppression cannot go on for long. The day will come, sooner rather than later, when the people will rise again.

Mr. President, you cannot rule the nation the way you want. When will you understand the feelings of the people, the youth, the educated, and the uneducated?

Why does the tax payer have fund protesters? Are they more on the street protesting than in lecture and reseach halls studying? If they had to pay for their edcution they would be keener to study and complete their courses as fast as possible. This handout and entitlement mindset needs to change. Isn't it starnge that somehow after young people get into university they think they suddenly are entitled to demand from and dictate to authorities. They think they are so smart and everyone else is stupid ans needs to heed their immature and selfish narratives.

@Hiran, People are protesting because people like you are year after year electing these uneducated politicians, whose prime aim is to swindle the country.

Suppression by an iron fist may not pay in the long run. this may lead to damage being caused to public property. The IMF wants the corruption investigated and the stolen money brought back. No action. May be because even the Head of State too has skeletons in his cupboard

Ranil is probably the only 'ruler' in the world who thinks that neoliberalism has a future.

Well come unelected master debating president needs to be master debated in front of the parliament to understand the needs of educated young generation of the country. These individuals needs to come forward to run the country.

Now Ranil is happy to have been accepted into the autocrat club. On a level with Putin, Erdoğan, al-Assad, Xi and Khamenei must make him proud. However, the EU (GSP ) and the IMF will see things differently.

Very good, damn medical students protesting for what (for money of course) . Once they become Doctors, they strike at government hospitals and then charge Rs 1000 to see a patient for a cough or cold. Shameless people.

People commenting here are too stupid not to realise that it is good to develop more medical colleges in the country rather than sending the children to study medicine in Belarus, Nepal, Bangladesh and other Eastern European countries or China.Everytime someone wants to invest in private medical colleges , these goons are on the road protesting because they are afraid that they will have competition when they go out for private practice after passing out from the government medical college.

result of free tax payer funded education. System change should start from paying for your own education.
