The AAP said that MCC was applicable on all citizens, and media houses were no exception.

"By not initiating suo-moto action against these media channels, is the Election Commission indicating its submissiveness?

"It is the Election Commission's duty to conduct a free and fair (election). Why isn't the Election Commission issuing any direction to these news channels to stop the broadcast forthwith?"

The AAP demanded "strong and exemplary action" against the erring TV channels.
