Today we hear that CBNSat is scheduled to have two court hearings, one being the Supreme Court and the other being the Appeals Court. Can anyone please confirm these hearings and also post the time of the respective hearings.
Yesterday was quite an eventful day since a lot of information designed to misinform the public about CBNSat came out. Our thoughts were taken back to about an year back when Mr. Hettigoda who is the Chairman of Hettigoda Group (The manufacturers of Siddhalepa) said that the Sinhala language newspapers have to be blamed for many things happening in this country such as youth unrest, attitude towards the ethnic conflict, murder, etc. These sentiments were echoed yesterday by the irresponsible reporting of the CBNSat issue by the Dinamina and Divaina newspapers yesterday. All what they had reported were designed to bring disrepute to a company that would have contributed a lot to the development of the rural population by introducing services such as Distant Learning, etc. They are manipulating the attitudes of the majority of people reading Sinhala Language newspapers. This is unethical behaviour considering the fact that none of these allegations have been proven yet and CBNSat as a whole has not been charged on these allegations.
All this was undoubtly fabricated to stop the general public who were forming an organisation to fight, not for the rights of CBNSat but for the rights of the consumers. These people know that many people in the outstation areas are also being drawn into this fight for consumer protection and this was clearly drawn to put doubt in their hearts. We urge the CBNSat Subscriber Group to continue fighting for the rights of the consumer. As of now they have not got an appointment with the Media Minister who in his arrogance is disregarding the people whom he has to serve but instead has become the lapdog of the people with high influence.
The use of National Security as a scapegoat to bring down CBNSat is a low down thing to do since then many other issues also crop like we highlighted yesterday. In fact the Media Minister says that they cannot monitor CBNSat transmissions which is being broadcast from Sri Lanka, this is clearly a man who does not have any knowledge on media and the technologies used. Anyone with a little knowledge of satellite communication will understand that this is all bullshit. If he had any knowledge on media we figure he would have come up with a plan to phase out Analog transmission and introduce digital transmission in Sri Lanka like the rest of the world including Africa is doing now.
We appeal to the learned individuals in the Supreme and Appeals Court to throw out these baseless low down allegations and uphold the rights of a reputed business organisation as well as its consumers who are legitimate citizens of Sri Lanka. LET CBNSAT OPERATE FROM TODAY.
