| Protest
against SLRC Tiger telecast
A demonstration is to be held outside the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation
by the Desha Hiteshi Jathika Viyaparaya(DHJV), protesting against
the national television's role in the live coverage of the LTTE
heroes' day celebration.
Members of
the DHJV will meet on Tuesday to decide on a date and details of
the demonstration, Convenor of the movement, Ven. Elle Gunawansa
Thera told The Sunday Times.
He said the
SLRC was going beyond norms when airing such programmes.
"When the President took over the Media Ministry, we expected
a change but it looks like it has gone from bad to worse. There
is not a single quality programme in the SLRC. The programmes degrade
our culture and principles of our country," the monk said.
The movement is to urge the President to take immediate action against
officials responsible for the decision and ensure quality programmes. |
