during the education,uni students must be in their class rooms.water cannon not enough give them rough batton charge.

I on principle do not accept anything offered free. These students need be asked to pay for what they get. The want free education, employment on a pallet, do not want to pay taxes. This the root cause of this problem.

Wetting them is too light a treatment, they should be baton-charged. They are playing with public money. Have no mercy on them.

No one is perfect. The education system in Sri Lanka is the main problem for everything. So the government has the responsibility for that. All social system is based on the school education.I'm not saying IUSF is always right. But their is a major problem. It want to be fixed to achieve a development as a country.Majority of the parliament is doing nothing but taking care of themselves. I'm not belong to any specific political party. But what is the meaning of giving all kind of benefits only for them. They are doing a drama. All are actors. They pop up some kind of situation time to time and all of the saying bullshit on the TV.So don't try to blame as soon as you see a protest by IUSF. But try to understand there is a major problem.
