A Massive Campaign Organised by IUSF Against Govt. Inaction Over SAITM

Convener of the Inter University Student’s Federation Lahiru Weerasekara said,that the Government that ignored the election promises given in the General Elections and the Presidential election had now resorted to a series of election promises in a bid to win the Local Government elections.

The Government had taken steps to privatise medical services, education and to implement a plan to sell State Owned Enterprises (SOE) and the forests to the private companies. Meanwhile the pension rights of the Government servants had been abolished under the pretext of a contributory pension scheme. However the Government has failed to show any positive response to the public protests in this regard,” he alleged.

Hence, the Inter-University Federation would hold a massive campaign in Colombo against the Government’s failure to implement the promise to abolish Malabe Private Medical College (SAITM).
