Two Ministers conducting illegal TV and radio stations in east

Allegedly two Ministers of the East are conducting illegal TV and radio transmissions in the District to promote their campaigns .

The residents of the area had complained that these channels are operating intermittently. These transmissions are reminiscent of the illicit and dangerous TV broadcasts of the EPRLF way back in 1988  when they were holding sway over the North East Provincial Council. UNP candidates of the Batticaloa District have made these disclosures to the public. UNP Eastern provincial Councillor Basheer Segu Dawood is to lodge a complaint with the Elections commissioner today .Another UNP Eastern provincial Councillor said, the residents of the area had lodged complaints with him in this regard… One is a TV channel while the other is a Radio channel called ‘new Moon FM’ specially aimed for Muslims. The other channel is ‘Kalkudah FM’, the Provincial Councilor stated.
