Activist Committee for media freedom challenge Govt.’s ‘bad boys’ to sabotage media workshop if they can

(Lanka-e-News, 02.Aug.2014, 11.30AM) Namal Rajapakse who visited Sirimavo Bandaranaike Balika Vidyalaya , and sought to entice the students to dance was treated to a well deserved hoot from the girls of that school, compelling Namal to dismount the stage and leave as a sadder but a wiser man , for he was taught by the students indirectly to spend his time on more important matters rather than visit schools , specially girls’ schools and try to dance the jig with them .

Namal had visited Sirimavo Bandaranaike Balika during school hours 31st July noon where a saukyadana event was being held . He had after arriving , campaigned to promote the Rajapakse Carlton sports club.

Namal who knows only to sing self praising hollow bailas like the other politicos of his papa’s regime, had need to have in his company Iraj ,a singer to support his dancing act; and Iraj had sung a song within the school premises. Iraj ‘s song lyrics however were not in accord with civilized school activities or its students . The song with words ‘umma, umma’ (the sound made by kiss ) was sung , and the school girls were lured by Namal to come on stage to dance with him. While a few girls had come on stage due to pressure and with reluctance to dance with Namal , the other girls and many teachers watching this unseemly conduct in a school where students are following classes seriously , have resented this bitterly.

In the face of mounting opposition from students who called this as uncivilized and most unbecoming in a school while it is in progress , Namal along with his singer have left the scene. 

The most irksome and reprehensible part of this scenario was the Principal of the school , another pro MaRa JaRa playing the key role to extend unstinting support to Namal’s boorish and brutish behavior. The teachers and students who justifiably opposed this Namal’s stupid outrageous conduct are however now harboring fears that they may fall victim to the Rajapakses’ venom and vengeance for which the latter are most notorious.

Incidentally , Namal Rajapakse and his group prior to creeping into Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya had visited D.S. Senanayake College this morning , and performed a concert to promote Carlton sports club campaign.
