Cong says new rules draconian
The Opposition Congress and the ruling BJP continued to spar over the alleged “toolkit documents” and Covid. ‘
While Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology Shashi Tharoor ridiculed BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s demand to disqualify him from the Lok Sabha for his tweets on ‘Indian variant of Covid, Congress MP in Rajya Sabha Abhishek Manu Singhvi said the new intermediary rules for social media platforms issued by the Narendra Modi government are draconian.
Tharoor, refuting the allegation that he tarnished the image of Parliament and the government by using the term “Indian variant of Covid-19”, said his committee is communicating with Ministries in writing on issues such as tweets that can be categorised as “Manipulative Media”.
