Perspective

Take a look at the profile of an ex-student of the prestigious Madras Medical College.

He is Sri Lankan.

Has been studying at the prestigious Madras Medical College (MMC) for 24 years.

Is a prime accused in the 1984 Chennai airport bomb blast

While he was a student, has traveled to Sri Lanka a number of times

Has attempted his second year exams 16 times

Still holds on to a room in the college hostel.

Considering how difficult it is to get into a medical college in Chennai, especially the MMC, it only shows gross negligence on the part of the college. Is it because of the several quotas that are available for admission of foreign students to Government colleges that such a fraud was unnoticed?

On the one hand we have this Sri Lankan ‘student’ requesting the Madras High Court to extend his student visa and on the other hand, we have our honourable Chief Minister protesting against the training of Sri Lankan army personnel in India. Who do you think should be sent back? The Sri Lankan ex-student or the Sri Lankan officers?
