Talks instead of teargas
View(s):
Governments may come and governments may go, but protests seem to go on. This week saw the first street march by university students after the Gotabaya Rajapaksa administration took over. President Rajapaksa tweeted later, “Contrary to the usual tear-gas & baton charge that greeted Uni student protestors previously, I invited the union reps to Pres office to meet with Addtl Secy & Higher Ed officials to discuss grievances. Regular follow-up mtngs were scheduled, to ensure speedy resolution to issues”. Pic by Amila Gamage
