The Information and Broadcasting ministry has been asked by the Election Commission for a report on NaMo TV, which was launched quietly on March 31 (Sunday) and has since been promoted by BJP handles, including that of PM Modi.

The claim is proven to be True, as it is consistent with the tweet from Narendra Modi and BJP's verified official Twitter accounts.

The claim is proven to be True, as it is consistent with the tweet from Narendra Modi and BJP's verified official Twitter accounts. Namo TV was launched on March 31 and was promoted by PM Narendra Modi himself on his verified official Twitter account. The NaMo TV channel which claims to only air speeches by PM Narendra Modi does not appear in the list of channels permitted to air by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Hence the claim is True, as NaMo TV was promoted by the BJP leaders and the Information and Broadcasting ministry have been asked by the Election Commission for a report.
