How the graduates of the Colombo University acted during the convocation ceremony was exemplary and a great move, Ven. Omalpe Sobitha Thera said today.
The prelate told a news conference held in Embilipitiya that graduates of the Colombo University had displayed their self-respect and that the President and the Government should realize their message.
Ven. Sobitha Thera said all religious leaders including the Mahanayakes and social activists should take this as a lesson.
The Thera said even though most people kept mum when posts were given on political, personal and nepotism, the graduates of the Colombo University showed their protest.
He said the country had faced a catastrophe due to nepotism and that the President should realize at least now that his action plan so far has been a failure.
The graduates of the Colombo University were seen refusing to obtain their graduate certificates from the Chancellor of the Colombo University Ven. Muruththettuwe Ananda Thera.
