However, MPCC failed to fulfill its assurance on several occasions, and the decision to boycott MPCC was taken in a meeting of the three organisations.
The press release by the three organizations further said, “If the MPCC fails to meet the deadline set by media organisations, all news-related MPCC, activities of its MLAs, and advertisements will be boycotted by media under the organization.
The media organization has been constrained to take the decision as MPCC has failed to clear Election related advertisement bills running into several lakhs even though the election is over three months now, the statement added.
