Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa comes under criticism for his ‘Sakwala’ programme under which various donations are being given to state-run schools.
He faces accusations that he is using these as opportunities for his political promotions.
In an attempt to prevent politics in schools, obtaining prior permission from the governor of the respective province has now been made mandatory for such programmes.
Political analysts Vipula Karunatilake and Deepithi Kumara Gunaratne discuss Premadasa’s political programmes in schools.
