In a dramatic turn of events, a guest lecture on entrepreneurship and public communication at Kelaniya University took an unexpected detour as prominent businessman Dudley Sirisena faced vehement protests from a group of students upon his arrival. The disruption was marked by boos and interruptions, with students expressing their discontent over the choice of Sirisena as a speaker, branding him an "unscrupulous businessman."

Dudley Sirisena, the brother of former President Maithripala Sirisena and a figure known for his prominence in the business world, was invited to share insights on entrepreneurship and public communication with university students. However, the reception turned hostile as a faction of students voiced their objections, questioning the moral grounds for allowing someone they deemed as having "zero values" to address the student body.

The protesting students expressed their discontent over what they perceived as an inappropriate choice for a guest lecturer. They questioned how an individual, whom they labeled as "unscrupulous," could offer valuable insights on entrepreneurship and public communication to the university community.

As tensions escalated, a few university teachers intervened to calm the situation and restore order. Their efforts aimed to address the concerns of the protesting students while ensuring that the guest lecture could proceed without further disruptions.
