Colombo, March 18 (Daily Mirror) - There is a sinister move by some trade unions to call for a strike action taking patients in state hospitals as hostages, Minister of Health Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa told Parliament today.

He said a strike action at a time such as this is most unfair.

"We have informed all relevant institutions to ensure the security of health workers while steps have been taken to increase their salaries," the Minister said.

Why do you worry when your own sins come after you? You guys are experts in Disruptions, sabotage, protests, burning state owned assets and what not? Look in the mirror to see who has to be blamed.

Most of these trade unions are affiliated with JVP. So what happened? Is JVP not in agreement with continuation of RW policies by NPP government.
