The Election Commission on Thursday directed Delhi’s Chief Electoral Officer that all political publicity contents being displayed without pre-certification be removed immediately from NaMo TV.
The poll panel said any political content has to be permitted by the local media certification committee strictly in accordance with the EC’s instructions in this regard.
After the Congress filed a complaint with the poll panel about the channel disturbing the level playing field, the EC had asked the CEO Delhi to file a report on the issue.
Earlier, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting told the poll panel that it was an advertising platform that did not require a license from the ministry.
