Meta’s Zuckerberg to face Parliamentary summons over India elections remark

Social media giant Meta is set to receive a summons from the Parliamentary Standing Committee, chairman of the House panel on Communication and Information Technology Nishikant Dubey said on Tuesday. In a post on X, the BJP MP accused CEO Mark Zuckerberg of spreading misinformation through his earlier comments on the 2024 Indian general election.

“My committee will call Meta for this wrong information. Wrong information in any democratic country tarnishes the image of the country. That organization will have to apologise to the Indian Parliament and the people here for this mistake,” Dubey wrote in his post.
