The commissioner for examination, issued a statement as soon as he came to know,about the leak of O/L question paper. He also advised media not to publish this news as it would affect psychologically for the candidates of O/L examination. The commissioner for examination Mr W M N J Pushpakumara might have made this statement in good faith for the interest exam candidates.However, a question arise here, whether he had fulfilled his responsibility as the chief of examination before consulting media.
After the prolonged nationalist war the reality confronting the masses from all national communities should be explored carefully. The Rajapaksha regime manipulates the so-called victory to implement its militarized political program in the North and Eastern areas by forcing the Tamil masses to believe that the defeat of the LTTE is a defeat for Tamils. After posting the Lion’s flag in Jaffna the unfinished tasks of neo-liberal capitalism have been implemented rapidly by imposing the illusion of “war victory” to deceive the Sinhala masses. However the regime carefully manipulates the situation to win its class war. The mass destruction of the entire society during the nationalist war and its aftermath of the catastrophe unfolding in the North and the East proves that the whole Lankan society was defeated.
Fancy words spoken with passionate pounding to the chest can drive the people into believing that this country has turned over a new leaf and is rapidly developing into the land of hope that the ‘king’ has promised so many times. The knowledge hub was given a near fatal blow on the 21st of August 2012 by the so-called Minister for higher education, Mr S B Dissanayaka.
