The JVP is to lodge a complaint with the Telecom Regulatory Commission claiming that the online petition of General Sarath Fonseka has been blocked by the authorities. However Director General of the TRC Anusha Pelpita said that the government has no need to block the website and so rejected the claims by the JVP.

JVP MP Vijitha Herath, speaking to Daily Mirror online, claimed that the website had been blocked since last evening. He said that the company which created the website has been informed to look at avenues through which the website can be accessed.

'503 Error - service unavailable' means that the server is down due to overloading or undergoing maintenance. If the site is restricted then the message that appears is '403 - forbidden.'

This web site (IP 96.0.176.2) is based in Ohio, USA. Even here in Australia it's erratic. Instead of crying that 'it's blocked,' move the site to a proper hosting company.

Only 'patriots' can access the website not 'traitors' - our 'democracy'!

There has been a report and Video on Sri Lanka in the Australian SBS TV Channel yesterday. This should be available to be seen by anyone on the Internet . However, it too appears to have been blocked. Soon will we be blocked out on any or every world report giving world opinion opinion on Sri Lanka, or when it concerns the rulers of our country ? Are they so frightened and if so what is there that is being hidden from the people?

So, the Chinese are at work secretly, surreptiously using funds provided by the World Bank to "improve the internet services in the country". Typical Mahinda Chinthanaya: Say something, and do exactly the opposite. They dont have even enough guts to admit the "Gilmarts" they resort to, to cheat the people. The whole world is moving towards free flow of information and Sri Lanka is being geared to go down the "pallam" and become a pariah nation under this stupid government. Poonac eating voter buffaloes do not have enough IQ to realise this.

President Mahinda, you should not encourage this kind of stupid acts.

You supposed to be the president of the country, whether you have won it or stolen it, at the moment you sit on that chair, so think to keep the country free and fair with all the freedom for its citizens and not only to few thugs.

By doing this is not the Government "Runnung Scared"? What a shame for the new "King"

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 09:07 AM

Cry babies.. Grow up men... You people ( JVP ) already in Political dustbin... At least from now on try and beheave like
grown up people.. Just sit and discuss what your party did for this country from 1970 - 71... Any good thing..??? No I guess.. So try and do corrective plan or else give up the politics...

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 07:59 AM

what's the website address?

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 09:01 AM

Will the petitions help. SF has to face charges and that is the best way to clear his name and not getting a petition war.

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:57 AM

This will highlight that the JVP is not capable of starting even a computer trick (JILMART) successfully instead blaming the government.

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:53 AM

this is Mahinda Chintanaya - towards one party state - harass opposition till they are reduced to ashes. No wonder they do not want the 17th Amendment implemented. They needs 2/3 majority to make all the present illegal deeds legal and rule forever.

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:51 AM

JVP...from day one they were formed has been complaining.only...a real bunch of cry babies..!!!....

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:48 AM

Is this the democracy we have in the country? Are we living in a goons country?

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:15 AM

Yes, this is true because I experience the same when I tried to log in !

This is the kings five star democracy and so the poor masses have no chance or freedom ensured by the Constitution !

Tuesday, 02 March 2010 08:13 AM
