IUSF slams govt over repression

COLOMBO (News 1st) - The Acting Convenor of the Inter University Students Federation, Terence Rodrigo alleged that the Government's acts of repression are performative, and further stated that despite harking about neoliberal values, none of the arrested activists have been presented before Court.

Commenting on why the government was trying to make an example of protesters, Rodrigo rationalized that it is was because the government was unable to provide solutions to the economic and political problems faced by the people of Sri Lanka. 

'Ranil Rajapaksa's economic reforms are not the answers the people are looking for', he said, adding that the national resources of the country have been sold by them.
