Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has appointed a special committee to look into the attack on the HNDA students by the police at Ward Place, Colombo7 last Thursday.

A spokesman from the Prime Minister’s office told Daily Mirror that Power and Renewable Energy Ministry Secretary Dr. B. M. S Batagoda will chair the special five member committee.

The committee is expected to tart functioning within this week as the Prime Minister had asked for an immediate report. (Yohan Perera)

How many committees have been appointed so far ?

You appear to be appointing committees for everything. What good are they for ? Is it to take action against the wrong doers or to whitewash the incident ?

We remember the committee appointed to exonerate the Governor of CB.

Keep appointing committees until you get what you want?

Please appoint a committee to see why the Volkswagen factory has not opened yet?

These committees or commissions have no significant result and use only to hoodwink the masses. In a good governance, a protest of such nature by young students should be dealt with much care. Post mortems are quite unnecessary. Minister should advise the police how to deal them in future.
