The Manipur government, however, refuted the media report claiming the website’s suspension for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
“The website has been temporarily suspended voluntarily by the Chief Minister’s Office to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Model Code of Conduct, and not due to any directive from the Election Commission of India for any violation,” stated the Manipur government’s Information and Public Relation (IPR) PRO in a statement.
Manipur’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) in a tweet claimed that the report relating to the suspension of the account for violation of MCC is incorrect.
