We are part of an extraordinary community that has battled for change and social justice for three relentless decades. This is our era of awakening, a renaissance of truth and justice. Yet, our struggle is being ruthlessly undermined by HIRU TV, a network that has become a weapon of hate, division, and manipulation.

HIRU TV is not merely broadcasting news; it is spreading toxic propaganda, fueling racism, and poisoning our society with lies. The scars it leaves are deep—many of our Muslim brothers and sisters have suffered from the vile hate this channel spews. This is not just a personal wound; it is a collective assault on our nation's soul.

The chaos HIRU TV has unleashed is palpable - tearing at the fabric of our society, stoking social unrest, and destabilizing our economy. This is not journalism; this is manipulation. HIRU TV has shown its true colors by pushing a personal agenda, seeking to free its owner's imprisoned brother, Duminda Silva, through corrupt political games. Duminda Silva, a former Member of Parliament, was convicted of murder in a high-profile case, only to be controversially released under a presidential pardon in 2021. His release, facilitated by political influence, has raised serious concerns about the integrity of our justice system and the dangerous power wielded by those who control our media.

During the 2020 elections and even before, HIRU TV played a crucial role in misleading the public. Through biased reporting, misinformation, and blatant propaganda, the network has been accused of swaying the election results in favor of specific political interests, undermining the democratic process. This network is not serving the people; it is manipulating them, all in the service of a corrupt few.

We refuse to stand by while this network destroys everything we have fought for. We demand the immediate sale of HIRU TV to a responsible owner who understands that the media must serve the people, not the interests of a corrupt few. The current ownership has proven itself to be a threat to our society—a stain on the integrity of journalism.

We also demand that the frequency granted to HIRU TV be auctioned off through a transparent and proper tender process. This is essential to ensure that such a powerful platform is placed in the hands of those who will use it responsibly and in the public interest, rather than as a tool for spreading division and hate.

We call upon the renaissance government to recognize the imminent danger this network poses. It is time to pull the plug on HIRU TV. This is not a violation of free speech; it is a necessary defense against the abuse of that freedom.

Our Actions Against HIRU TV:

01. Petition the Government: We will gather widespread public support to demand the sale of HIRU TV to a responsible owner who will uphold ethical journalism.

02. Demand Auction of the Frequency: We will push for the frequency currently held by HIRU TV to be auctioned off through a transparent tender process, ensuring it is awarded to a responsible entity.

03. Legal Action: We will explore legal avenues to challenge HIRU TV’s operations, focusing on their violations of broadcasting standards and ethical journalism.

Our fight for change does not end here. We will not allow our voices to be drowned out by a cacophony of lies. We will not let HIRU TV continue its reign of terror. Stand with us and demand that the government takes decisive action against this destructive force. Sign the petition today, and together, let's end HIRU TV's tyranny once and for all.
