BATTLELINES DRAWN BETWEEN CONG, BJP

The political spat over the decision of Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP and chairman of the Standing Committee on Information Technology, to summon Facebook over a report in The Wall Street Journal has intensified, with Tharoor and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey giving a notice of breach of privilege against each other.
The office of the chairman of the standing committee had sent a letter to Facebook, seeking an explanation on The Wall Street Journal report which stated that a senior public policy executive of Facebook “opposed applying hate-speech rules” to at least four individuals and groups linked with the BJP even after they were “flagged internally for promoting or participating in violence”.
In his letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Tharoor said he decided to summon a meeting of the committee to discuss the alleged misconduct of Facebook as part of its discussions on “Safeguarding citizens’ rights and prevention of misuse of social/online news media platforms”. “Despite this, Nishikant Dubey insultingly criticized my decision to do so stating that ‘The Chairman of the Standing Committee does not have the authority to do anything without discussion of the agenda with its member’ and accused me of championing my political party’s ‘agenda without authorisation by the Committee and Speaker’. This amounts to a three-fold breach of privilege,” he wrote. He stated the “subject under which the Meeting had been summoned, amongst others, had been unanimously approved by the Committee members and other branches of the Secretariat such as your office and that of the Secretary General…”

“I would urge you to issue necessary directions to initiate proceedings against him for committing a breach of privilege on multiple accounts and contempt of the House,” Tharoor added.
Dubey, on the other hand, stated in his notice, “Tharoor has surpassed all limits of decency, ethics and basic tenets of Parliamentary procedure and practice vis-a-vis smooth functioning of Parliamentary Committee by way of committing a grave ‘Breach of Privilege’, not only in the capacity of an individual honourable Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha but also remaining in the exalted position of Chairperson of one of the most important Departmentally Related Standing Committees, viz., Information Technology.” Dubey said Tharoor had not discussed the move to write to Facebook with members of the committee.

Alleging that Tharoor has committed a serious breach of privilege to use the committee platform “not only to serve his political agenda but also to tarnish BJP and sensationalise a small incident by misusing his official powers”, the BJP MP urged Birla to initiate a privilege motion.

Wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia refute rumours of withdrawal of protest
Both Malik and Punia denied the news of withdrawing from the protest, they termed it as rumours and also urged people not to spread false news.

Olympians Sakshee Malik and Bharang Punia said today, they will keep fighting for justice and that no wrestler has given up and will not give upon protest.
Both Malik and Punia denied the news of withdrawing from the protest, they termed it as rumours and also urged people not to spread false news. We have resumed our responsibilities in Railways, but we are also working on our plan, Sakshee said.
The wrestlers also met with Home Minister Amit Shah late on Saturday night to ask him to conduct a fair investigation into allegations of sexual harassment made against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh by seven female wrestlers, which also includes a minor.
It’s been learned that Amit Shah assured the wrestlers that the law still applies to everyone equally. He reportedly said to the wrestlers, let the law take its course.
The wrestlers announced they were going to submerge their medals in the Ganga river in Haridwar last month. They claim that their complaint against the head of the wrestling federation has been largely ignored.
However, they temporarily halted their plan as farmer leader Naresh Tikait intervened.
Earlier on May 28 march, some protesters were taken into custody. The country was shocked and outraged when images of champions Vinesh Phogat and her cousin Sangeeta Phogat being detained by the police surfaced.
The Delhi Police announced that they would not be permitted to stage a protest at India Gate after the wrestlers were denied access to the Jantar Mantar protest location following the crackdown.
Meanwhile, Sakshee Malik’s husband, wrestler Satyawart Kadian, also joined her and said, neither we have made a concession nor will we back down. All of it is false, and we won’t end our protest. He added we shall continue seeking justice while remaining strong. To weaken us, false information is being broadcast. The entire country is against the Delhi Police.
