EC says it has no objection to PM's Mann ki Baat programme on AIR

Election Commission today said, it has no objection to the broadcast of Prime Minister's Mann ki Baat programme over All India Radio and pre-broadcast publicity through different channels of AIR and Doordarshan. It said, however, there should be nothing in the broadcast that may be construed as inducement to voters or having any impact on election in Bihar. The model code of conduct is in force from 9th of this month. <br/><br/>Earlier, the Congress, RJD and JD(U) had demanded a ban on the broadcast of the programme alleging that the programme violates the Model Code of Conduct. The programme will be broadcast on Sunday at 11 in the morning and will be relayed by entire network of All India Radio and Doordarshan.
