Karu visits Udul in prison in Ranil’s absence [November 1 2010]

UNP Deputy Leader Karun Jayasuriya said the negotiations are the only way to settle the present student unrest in the universities.

He made these remarks after visiting the Convener of the Inter-University Student Federation Udul Premaratne at the Welikada Prison today.

However, the UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe did not accompany Jayasuriya in his controversial visit to the remand prison. UNP sources said Wickremesinghe takes a different stand on Jayasuriya’s support to the JVP-affiliated controversial student union better known as the Anthare.
