Parliament Monsoon Session

The Lok Sabha passed the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 on August 7, Monday. The major objective of the bill is to protect the privacy of the Indian citizens. It imposes a penalty of up to Rs 250 crore on entities for misusing or failing to protect digital data. Furthermore, the primary objective of the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 is to form a comprehensive framework for the protection of personal data. 

The aforesaid framework extends its jurisdiction to personal data collected within India, both online and offline. Notably, if data processing occurs outside the country but involves offering goods or services to individuals within the country, then the bill’s regulations will be implemented. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of Communications, Electronics and Information Technology put forward the bill in the Lok Sabha on August 3.

As per reports, the bill will address six points which states that collection and usage of personal data will be legal, nonetheless it is strictly protected from breach; data collection must be undertaken for legal purpose and safe storage of data; store and collect only relevant data; will provide data protection and accountability;  accuracy of data and lay down rules regarding reporting a data breach.

Reports claimed that the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 was passed despite calls from the opposition parties to refer the bill to the standing committee for further examination. The bill was passed within 45 minutes as the opposition continued to raise slogans demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on Manipur. However, the concerned minister defended the newly passed bill as a ‘normal bill’ and moved it for discussion. 

Narrating the bill, the Union Minister said that they have used ‘she’ instead of ‘he’ to define a person in the bill. The Minister also assured the house that the consent form for all data usage will be in 22 languages so that people of the country can understand. Additionally, the Bill has legal innovation and alternate dispute resolution. In case an organisation makes an error it can approach the data protection board, which can thereby impose a penalty and let both parties move further.

While addressing concerns of the opposition that the government had been given too many exemptions, Ashwini Vaishnaw asserted that they cannot wait to get consent to use data of a person in case of disaster such as flood or cyclone. He also noted the example of Europe stating that a similar law has provided 16 exemptions and they have provided only 4 exemptions. Notability, the bill has provisions that kids can use certain apps only in a graded manner.

Gandhi accused PM Modi of helping Revanna (former PM HD Deve Gowda’s grandson) escape from India.

Gandhi said even when Prajwal Revanna raped a number of women, the prime minister did not stop him from going to Germany. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has all the machinery, yet he allowed the mass rapist to flee to Germany. He took a sarcastic dig at PM Modi and said this is Modi’s guarantee. The Congress leader asserted that whether it’s a corrupt leader or a mass rapist, the BJP will always protect him.

Prajwal Revanna, the sitting MP from Hassan and the grandson of former PM HD Deve Gowda, has been accused of being in purported sex tapes. A number of pen drives allegedly contain his sexual assault videos which were circulated in Hassan, the Lok Sabha constituency from where he is the BJP-JD (S) candidate.

Most of the sex videos were recorded by Prajwal Revanna in his office and house. Initially, the Gowda family and the BJP termed the tapes as being doctored to tarnish the image of the family in elections but later, HD Kumaraswamy distanced himself from the tapes and said the police is investigating the matter.
