Most University students misbehave, abuses free education, wondering if government should consider to do away with free education. Sack these fellows. I am Buddhist but monk thugs must not be tolerated! Put them behind bars for one year, hard labour!

These people should be charged and asked to pay compensation for all the damage caused. The students suspended for two years and all monks so arrested, disrobed. MM
