They complained this was done by the SLRC Chairman for  demanding to adhere to Election Commissioner’s guidelines with regard to  telecasting of election related programmes prior to last Presidential  Election.          Eight media personnel complained following the Presidential Election,  SLRC Chairman Ariyaratne Athugala allegedly abused them in a filthy  language claiming that the President and he would not care about the  Supreme Court orders and there he had compared five member Supreme Court  bench which had directed Rupavahini to follow Election Commissioner’s  guidelines to stupid people with mental aberration.     <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/1944-court-orders-probe-into-state-tv-.html" target="_blank">DM</a></blockquote>
