A live programme telecast on December 31st night had given astrological predications for the Indian politicians in 2012. Six well known Indian astrologers had participated in the programme.
The presenter of the show had asked the astrologers to give predictions for 2012 for state heads in countries neighboring India. The presenter has asked the head of the panel of astrologers to make a prediction about President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The astrologer had then taken a copy of Rajapaksa’s horoscope and had given a detailed explanation. He has said the President would have to leave his office before the end of 2012.
The rest of the astrologers have also agreed with the prediction.
Dialog Cable TV has the rights to telecast Vijay TV in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the respective programme had been telecast live on December 31st and then several recorded episodes had also been telecast in the channel.
Soon after hearing about the matter, the President had shouted at the Director General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), Anusha Pelpita and had asked him to ensure that the programme is not telecasted again.
The President had then informed of the matter to the CEO of Dialog, Hans Wijesuriya.
Therefore, Dialog had taken a precautionary step by blocking the signal of the station when the respective programme was being telecast.
