Its purpose is to incite distrust and hostility between ethnic and religious groups, promoting national\u00a0disharmony in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Mobitel is a commercial telecommunications service provider\u00a0to the entire country including the groups who are being targeted by this anthem.\u00a0As a wholly owned subsidiary of Sri Lanka Telelcom, of which a 50% stake is owned by the Sri Lankan government, Mobitel is also\u00a0partly a state enterprise.\u00a0It is therefore extremely disturbing that such a responsible commercial enterprise with close affiliations to the state would facilitate the spread of hate speech through its services and in doing so contribute to ethnic and religious tensions in the country.\u00a0The recent attack on the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Fashion+Bug&amp;x=11&amp;y=7\">Fashion Bug<\/a><\/span> building in Pepiliyana indicates that hate speech and \u00a0scaremongering campaigns have extremely violent consequences. Under the circumstances, we expect Mobitel to act responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>We call upon Mobitel to remove this anthem from\u00a0its\u00a0MP3 ringtones service\u00a0provided to its customers and restore our confidence in the supposed impartiality and professionalism of commercial enterprises.
