Jaffna Technical College Students Union (JTCSU) raised accusation against Yogarajan, their principal and President Mahinda Rajapakse’s Alliance candidate in the parliamentary election, for compelling them to campaign for Mahinda Rajapakse’s Alliance. Yogarajan had welcomed Namal Rajapakse, President Mahinda Rajapakse’s eldest son and his ‘Blue Warriors’ group accompanying him when they arrived in Jaffna Tuesday to canvas votes for his father’s party, JTCSU said.

The students of Jaffna Technical College had launched protest demonstrations when they were compelled by their principal Yogarajan to campaign for Mahinda Rajapakse in the last presidential election.

Meanwhile, Yogarajan had arranged Namal Rajapakse and his group to participate in special prayers in Naaka Vikaarai in Nainaatheevu, JTCSU representatives said.
