    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me read for the hon. Members what the Article itself says. Article 108 says:- “All candidates and political parties participating in an election shall be allocated reasonable air time on state radio and television broadcasting services during the campaign period.” Mr. Chairman, Sir, what the Committee is saying is that, that is a very small bit of the broadcasting world. The rest of the media also have to give reasonable air time. What is reasonable is in the eyes of the broadcaster himself; in the eyes of the regulator. It is not us saying that you must give one or two hours, but reasonable air time. This is what the Constitution says. Because the way the media covers the campaigns is very critical on the outcome. Airwaves are public property; they are not private property. The airwaves are a national resource."
