IUSF is a JVP creation to link-up USFs established and managed by JVP in the South. The North and the East chased them out by pelting them with stones.
The objectives of the JVP are to:
1. brain wash the gullible young students mostly from villages against the government of the day
2. to link up with other universities in order to create mass civil disobedience, unrest, looting and murder of opponenets.
3. to topple the government of the day in order to capture power.
GOSL must not be caught napping but nip them in the bud. Arrest all the leaders and question them their structure, plans, source of funding and weapons they are gathering etc.
With the evidence let JVP leaders who are behind them be arrested, found guilty and thrown in prison for good.
Srilanka should privatised all the universities.Then only Jvp minded students can have proper Education.
IUSF is a wing of JVP. The innocent students should be freed from their revolutionary thinking.
