The Inter University Students’ Federation (IUSF) alleged that yet another student participated for this year’s University Leadership Training Program (ULTP) has become handicapped as a result of an accident during a training session.
Issuing a statement, Convener of the IUSF Najith Indika said that V.K.D.R. Vijitha Latha has sustained a spinal code injury on 8 November as she fell out of a 7 ft wall at the Kalattawa Army Camp and is currently being treated at the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital.
IUSF Convener Indika further stated that, in another incident, a prospective university student had been sexually molested by an army soldier at the Gannoruwa Army Camp, and the authorities had cover-up the incident.
The IUSF charged that the ULTP is a politically motivated propaganda, in which the authorities tend to proceed despite the objection of lecturers, parents and undergraduates.
