-Classes boycotted by University Dons to stop this ragging-
(Lanka-e-News- 17.March.2014, 8.40PM) A fresher (female), a student of the Kelaniya University fainted following ragging because of the torture and torment inflicted on her by the student group of Peratugami party which is led by Kumar Gunaratnam . When a professor intervened and tried to take the victim to a medical center , he was threatened and chased away by this barbaric brutal group. Finally the victim was forcibly dragged and taken to the hideout of these brutes , and nobody knew her fate thereafter.
This incident took place yesterday (16) at about 1.30 p.m. on the main road in front of the Kelaniya University Bandaranaike hostel.
It is the seniors of the Inter University student federation which is a tool of the Peratugami party who have behaved this brutally and barbarically to rag that student until she fainted.. Professor Sumathipala Halpita of the Physics division and president of the Kelaniya University academics association speaking to Lanka e news while expressing his regrets in regard to this unfortunate incident said , the identity of the victim cannot be revealed on security grounds.
The professor who saw the fresher fainting following the torment and torture inflicted during the ragging had along with a lecturer rushed to the scene and sought to take her to a medical center when about 20 Peratugami brutes (students) have arrived and threatened them. Later this group had taken the victim to their student headquarters.
The professor had then lodged a complaint with the University administrative authority.The latter had wanted to summon the police , but on second thought he has abandoned that attempt because these barbaric Peratugami brutes may blow this situation out of proportion , and use that to their advantage by camouflaging the scenario.
Unbelievably, professor Halpita who was so threatened by the barbaric brutes of Kumar Gunaratnam (the criminal who is presently incarcerated), is a most erudite scholar and intellectual in present Sri Lanka. He is a specialist in Physics, electronic chemistry and ionic density. The Kelaniya University peratugami brutes stooping to this lowliest bestial level to threaten and embarass such intellectuals par excellence who are imparting knowledge clearly signals what disaster and doom these scoundrels are driving the University into.
Meanwhile Keerthi Tennekoon the so called human rights activist of a stray organization that calls itself a Human rights organization held a press briefing yesterday along with Duminda Nagamuwa a leader of the group of brutes and beasts . It is most reprehensible that Tennekoon the self proclaimed (in)human rights activist deemed it right at the media briefing to defend and whitewash the barbaric behavior of the Peratugami brutes . It will be infinitely better if those foreign organizations that are funding these so called human rights organizations pause to think twice whether they are helping a human rights or an inhuman rights organization before funding them .
This Peratugami brutal group of senior students which is viciously and inhumanly engaged in ragging the freshers at the Kelaniya University is just an insignificant potty group vis a vis the huge student groups in general of the University. Yet, because this potty group is violent, brutal and inclined to physically assaulting other students , the latter who are peaceful are remaining silent , prof. Sumathipala revealed. In order to remedy this deplorable situation , the University Dons have staged a boycott - that is not to lecture to the senior students .This boycott has continued for the last four days.

My daughter had to abandon her dream of becoming a graduate in science stream from Kelaniya University in 2013 due to ragging . She could not withstand ragging in the form of not allowing to go to lecturers and constant verbal abusing using filth so she lasted only 01 month in the university.
As farther I wish academic staff was awake then or long before 2013 so that so my daughter would have ended up as a graduate from the university. But I am happy at least academic staff is coming out now against this barbaric psychopaths whose actions so far gone unchecked and uncontested. At least all new students will be benefited by this going forward.
Also I think it is time for government to introduce charging fees from students for the subjects that they get referred/ failed in each year or each semester. Mahapola scholarship also should be granted only for the normal period for the degree program and not for the period that student take to complete the exams. Then only the students will understand the benefit of free education and start focusing their attention on education . This is the tax payers expectation too. When this is implemented senior student will not have extra time to harass innocence freshers as they will have to focus on their studies or start paying for their subjects.

If "educated" Sri Lankans who are groomed to take responsible positions from glorified bus conductors to pen-pushing asst. commissioners, behave like "brutes" what worse-than-animalistic behaviour can one expect of "less educated" and "hardly educated" Sri Lankans?

Bring GOTA & SF as a team (or like minded people) , they will sort out & eradicate this problem forever. Im sure existing law in this country is adequate enough to deal with this minor issue.
