Also, ITN is going to telecast the UNP procession and rally.

Both parties have not made any payment for these telecasts, nor for the pre-event advertisements.

During both telecasts, no commercial advertisement will be aired.

The loss to SLRC due to this is around Rs. one million.

During the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime, the SLRC and ITN were solely used for his promotion, which was strongly denounced during the elections.
