President Maithripala Sirisena and the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe should at least adhere to the request made by the Mahanayaka Theras and should resolve the SAITM issue immediately, Medical Faculty Students’ Parents’ Association (MFSPA) said today.

Speaking at a press briefing MFSPA Media Spokesman Dr. Nimal Karunasiri said that the authorities who came from the people’s vote must serve the public and should not play with the people’s mandate.

He said it was an unfortunate that the same who vowed to safeguard the public is now placing their lives in danger. It is our duty to remind them their responsibility.

“The unity government came in to power with the promise to safeguarding the democracy but is working in against it now. How a government can work against its own people. It is questionable why the President and the Prime Minister allow Rajitha,Kiriella and SB to decide the fate of the people disregarding the experts on the field,” he said.

Dr. Karunasiri said that the students’ are fighting for the betterment of the public welfare and therefore request the government to not to label them as henchman.

He also said that the university students extended their support to form the present government therefore it should stop treating those in an inhuman manner. (Thilanka Kankarathna)

First instance Mahanayake Theros should not interfere in Politics, they should respect the verdicts of the rulers of the nation.

Kapila Wijewardene (attorney-at-law) Monday, 16 October 2017 08:39 AM

We elected the President and the Prime Minister to rule our nation in the righteous way not to dance for the music of Mahanayake Theros.

Karolis Appuhamy (Village Head man) Monday, 16 October 2017 08:42 AM

This is a total foolish statement rather request, why should the Kings bow down Mahanayake Theros? We have not elected thugs or looters - we have elected the honest bunch of leaders to rule our nation.

Doglas Weerakoon Monday, 16 October 2017 09:37 AM

Well said Appuhamy Mathaya, you are 100% correct. Let the Buddhist teachers teach the religion and let the elected leaders rule the nation.

Dr. A.C.B. Jayaweera Monday, 16 October 2017 08:44 AM

I am a doctor by profession, I will not go to Mahanayake Theros to get treatment, I will only go to them to learn about the religion, not politics.

They think Doctors are Gods. They are people learnt from our tax money. If you want to find solution to SAITM issue ask the GMOA to shed their Jealousy and Selfishness. Problem is in your hands, not with the government.

bandara Monday, 16 October 2017 04:26 PM

will it be acceptable to you GMOA thugs and parents of students receiving free education at our tax money if these Mahanayake theras say SAITM should not be closed?
