A Delhi Assembly panel decided on Tuesday i.e.15th September to issue a “final notice” to Facebook after no representative appeared before the committee that is hearing allegations against the social media giant.
During proceedings, Peace and Harmony Committee Chairman and AAP MLA Raghav Chadha said non-appearance of any Facebook representative before the panel was not only “contempt” of Assembly, but also an “insult” of the 2 crore people of Delhi.
“The failure of Facebook to appear before the committee shows that it is trying to hide its role in the Delhi riots,” said Peace and Harmony Committee Chairman and AAP MLA Raghav Chadha.
Chadha said, “As per principle of natural justice, we should give a last chance to Facebook vice president and managing director to appear before the committee. Still, if he does not come, the committee will not desist from using all its powers including coercive steps.”
