Lalkantha said a person has to adhere to the current social structure to demand for something better in society. He said there was an attempt to develop an argument that the children of those fighting for free education in the country, cannot benefit from private education. According to Lalkantha, certain people seem to think that the JVP members engaged in politics, cannot dress smartly or travel in vehicles. “Castro, Marx and Lenin were not beggars,” Lalkantha said, adding that activists must accept the existing social set up and continue their fight for freedom and their rights. The daughter of JVP stalwart, K.D Lalkantha graduated this year having attended a private educational institution specialising in construction technology.
