The developments are likely to be read in context of Shashi Tharoor and opposition MPs clashing with NDA members.
NEW DELHI: A meeting of the Shashi Tharoor-led standing committee on information technology saw high drama on Wednesday with 10 BJP MPs showing up at the meeting, but refusing to register their attendance, effectively scuttling proceedings for lack of quorum even as top officials skipped the discussion at the last minute.
The House panel was scheduled to discuss “citizens’ data privacy and security”, an all-encompassing topic that was to span the contentious Pegasus and the ‘Sulli Deals’ App issues. What was also unprecedented was that three Union secretaries, including MeiTY secretary Ajay Sawhney, who had on July 20 confirmed that they would depose before the House panel, excused themselves from appearing one hour before the committee met at 4pm on Wednesday.
