(Lanka-e-News- 29.Nov.2014, 11.20AM) It has come to light that the Rajapakse regime is hatching a conspiracy to impose a ban on sms (short message service) messages during the terminal period of the forthcoming Presidential elections , Mangala Samaraweera disclosed at a media briefing held last-day .
This revelation being made by no less a person than a former telecom and communication Minister Mangala Samaraweera , now a UNP M.P. is specially noteworthy.
The defense Ministry has had discussions with chiefs of the mobile phone service companies in this connection. It had been conspired to bar these exchange of sms messages by blaming on so called defects in the servers and technical operations, Samaraweera , the former telecom Minister further revealed.
Even communicating by sms is going to be blocked from 2 nd or 3 rd until the 8 th of January .To achieve this objective , a team of the Chinese government that has arrived is holding discussions with the Intelligence division with a view to de -activate these servers , Mangala Samaraweera warned.
Recently , a Sirasa program telecast was obstructed falsely citing the ground that is was due to a technical fault at the Dialog Company, Samaraweera pointed out. It has been confirmed by now that Hans Wijesuriya , the chief of Dialog Co. is not a businessman who can act independently and impartially. Hence , that obstruction of the Sirasa by Dialog Co. can be attributed to Hans Wijesuriya’s ‘technical’ (or mental ?) defect and not Company’s technical defect , Samaraweera noted.
