Roads Open Up For UNP To Protest, As University Students Tear Gassed
March 15, 2016
The public was severely inconvenienced this evening as the ruling United National Party (UNP) took to the streets in Colombo protesting against the opposition and their alleged conspiracies. In another protest also this evening, in Fort, a student protest led by the Inter University Students Federation (IUSF) protest was tear gassed.
The UNP protest which was held under the patronage of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe at Lipton Circus was against ‘vicious forces’ trying to defeat the people’s mandate, while the IUSF demanded authorities to abolish the degree granting status of the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) in Malabe.
