<h1>Telecom regulator says it received no SMS application, doesn't approve templates; private provider rejected party's documentary link distribution</h1> A telecom regulator stated it did not receive any application to send SMSes to a political party's state cadre and that it does not approve individual message templates, attributing the refusal to a private service provider which rejected the submission. The party had alleged the regulator denied permission for distribution of a documentary link on alleged election fraud, labeling the content as protest-related, and claimed the rejection evidenced coordinated suppression by various government bodies. The regulator rebutted those claims, posting the service provider's rejection notice and asserting non-involvement in template approvals.
