SJB MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka yesterday said he is not against the proposed Kotelawala Defence University but he would not approve charging fees for courses.

Speaking during the debate on the registrations imposed under Emigration Immigration Act, MP Fonseka said charging fees will prevent the poor students from gaining access to education.

“I also don’t approve criticizing of Security Forces,” commented MP Fonseka.

He also said President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is making a genuine effort to make farmers shift to organic fertilizer.(Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

Hey FM SF, govt must charge students for university education!! That will eliminate student protests completely!!

Rachitha Wickremasinghe Saturday, 07 August 2021 12:31 PM

No, simply banning Student councils would stop protests (which is planned in the KDU bill) and ensure complete obedience to the rulers.

Hail SF for talking the truth. He should be the leader of the Samagi unit.

In sri lanka we play politics with everything, be it health ,education, janasawiya or whatever. At least SF is an exception. We need gvt run or approved private universities apart from free state universities. Pvt universities can have 10% scholarships for the poor caliber. If not this country will never prosper and will further drown in deep foreign debts.
