Addressing the media, member of the Media Committee of the GMOA Dr. Prasad Colombage said that the Attorney-General's Department (AG's Dept.) had turned a blind eye to command the government to announce its stance on SAITM and adding the political elements had mislead both the AG's department and the government to come out with reasonable solutions over the issue.
Meanwhile, GMOA Secretary Dr. Haritha Aluthge stressed the government was deliberately delaying to issue the stance on SAITM by virtue of the whims and fancies of some politicians and responsible officials.
“We have almost come to the edge of this struggle to insist the government to abolish SAITM. But, we have not lost our grip and therefore, we are prepared to launch protest marches and vehicle parades followed by massive island wide trade union actions in near future,” he warned.
