A majority of the content sent to the media certification and monitoring committee (MCMC) of Delhi for approval was from the BJP and Congress, a senior official said Sunday, while asserting that no case was pending with the panel at present.

The Election Commission has set up media certification and monitoring committee (MCMC) at state and district levels to clear political advertisements and campaign material for the Lok Sabha election.

"We dispose of cases as and when we get them. Most of the content for pre-certification, was from the BJP and Congress, followed by small parties, including the AAP," a senior official of the panel said.

"No case is at present pending with us," he said.

When asked about NaMoTV content pre-certification, the official said, "The content didn't come under the category of a particular TV, but under social media content segment only. Certified content is now being run on the app-based channel, as was directed to them earlier."
