A large number of people protested against Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe who came to Jaffna.
He came to Jaffna to participate in the Pongal festival. At that time, organizations including the Jaffna University Students’ Union took part in a demonstration demanding the withdrawal of the Sri Lankan Army from the Tamil area. Some of the protesters showered with shampoo when they were beaten to disperse the protestors.
