Order Banning Modi Biopic Also Applies to NaMo TV: EC Official

The order comes a day before the country goes for the first phase of polling for Lok Sabha elections.

The Election Commission’s order banning screening of a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi also applies to NaMo TV, which cannot be aired during the poll period.

A senior official of the poll panel on Wednesday, 10 April, referred to a paragraph in the order which said, "that any poster or publicity material concerning any such certified content, which either depicts a candidate (including prospective) for the furtherance (or purported to further) of electoral prospects, directly or indirectly, shall not be put on display in electronic media in the area where MCC is in force."
