A special discussion on the request made by university students regarding the Malwana property linked to former Minister Basil Rajapaksa is scheduled to take place today (18) under the leadership of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya, it was reported.
According to NewsFirst, the meeting, to be held at the Prime Minister’s Office, will bring together relevant stakeholders.
It is reported that decisions on future steps are expected following the discussion.
On May 14, students of the Inter‑University Students’ Federation (IUSF) entered the Malwana mansion, said to have once belonged to former Minister Basil Rajapaksa and later left without an owner.
They demanded that properties allegedly acquired through public tax money be handed back to the people.
The students have urged that such assets be allocated for the establishment of faculty complexes and hostels, citing space shortages within universities. (Newswire)
