EC allows NaMo TV to air live speeches of PM during ‘election silence period’

The Election Commission (EC) has said that NaMo TV can air live speeches of the PM during the “election silence period” as long as there is no reference to the candidate or constituency going to poll in that particular phase.

Speaking to reporters on NaMo TV, Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena said, “Since live speeches are not pre-certified election (campaign) material, they can be aired (by NaMo TV) during the silence period as long as there is no reference to candidate or constituency.”

The EC has already made it clear that according to electoral laws, the platform cannot display “election matter” during the silence period in a particular phase of the poll.
