The Election Commission has taken a major decision regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's biopic "PM Narendra Modi". Election Commission has banned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's biopic 'PM Narendra Modi' till the Lok Sabha elections. Earlier, the Supreme Court had dismissed the petition seeking the ban on the release of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's biopic 'PM Narendra Modi' on Tuesday. The court had said that the appropriate institution to solve the petitioner's concern is the Election Commission, because it is a constitutional body.
"Any Biopic material in nature of biography sub serving the purpose of any political entity or any individual entity connected to it, which has potential to disturb level playing field during the election, should not be displayed in Electronic media including cinematograph," EC said in a statement.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court had dismissed a petition filed by a Congress activist seeking stay on the film's release, saying the Election Commission would be an "appropriate" place to seek the redressal.
The team of PM Narendra Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) on Tuesday thanked the judiciary for rejecting the petition demanding a ban on the release of the film by the Supreme Court. The court said that the appropriate institution to solve the petitioner's concern is the Election Commission, which is a constitutional body. The Election Commission should decide whether a particular political party does not lean or benefit from it during the election of the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections (Lok Sabha Elections 2019). Actor Vivek Oberoi, who played PM Modi in the film, praised the stand of the Supreme Court.
