Government had decided to abolish SAITM to resolve all other issues pertaining to the same before December 31 this year and to continue the ban on recruiting new students to the SAITM, Deputy Minister Dr. Harsha De Silva said today.

Making a special statement at the constitutional assembly, Dr. De Silva, who is also the Chairman of the committee appointed by the President said appropriate steps would be taken with regard to students of SAITM who have already completed the medial degree as per the University Act No 16 of 1978.

Dr. De Silva said these decisions were made after discussing with the parents of Medical Faculty students last morning and with Acting Secretary to President Sumith Abeysinghe and Secretary to Prime Minister Saman Ekanayake. "We hope those who are engaged in the death fast will end it," Dr. De Silva added. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

You are quiet right! I cannot believe this Government without a back bone bending and twisting just to please them. Court ruiling has been given, stick by it...

Government always do announcements and stop there, as capable young man Dr. harsha should float it until end without relaxing, otherwise something pop up and waste your effort

Only thing we as a nation is good at is committing suicide for the wrong reasons.

Open Manipal and see what JOB AGENTS do with GMOA help.

Death blow to free enterprise and healthy competition in the higher education field. GMOA people who speak eloquently about free education never speak about the existence of private hospitals,never speak nationalization of private hospitals.Mean people

Good decision and need to punish the culprit who misled the innocent students by making a fraud institution like this. via DM Android App

GMOA is a terrorist organization. It has to be dissolved and banned. via DM Android App

Nay, it should be lined against the wall and shot and the whole country will stand by you!

Aroos Yusuf Thursday, 09 November 2017 01:43 PM

Good move... Because as a nation we have to maintain the standard of medical studies at high rate instead of deteriorating it..

Sincere Thursday, 09 November 2017 02:56 PM

If you all could take this decision this years before how many police attacks on students with water cannons, our rasthifying on streets due to protests, additional expenditure for prison department to feed students remanded etc etc could have been saved.

Siri de Alwis Thursday, 09 November 2017 06:05 PM

The weakest government we ever had. This will be first and last legislation period.Siri

Chaminda Thursday, 09 November 2017 08:57 PM

Very good move.. All the credit should go to IUSF, JVP, GMOA , University Teachers and Medical Students...
