President Gotabaya Rajapaksa who has shown a desire to steer education in Sri Lanka to the highest level to preserve dignity of labour takes a ride with Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith to the inaugural registration of undergraduates at the Benedict XVI Catholic Institute of Higher Studies last week. Coincidentally, the Supreme Court on Friday decided to hear arguments on the 12 fundamental rights applications filed against the state for its failure to prevent the Easter Sunday attacks on April 21, 2019 despite having prior knowledge. The petitions were fixed for argument from March 8-10.
