"Misinformation": Rajeev Chandrasekhar To NDTV On CPI MP's Data Protection Bill Claim
Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Tuesday told NDTV that since the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill has not been introduced in Parliament, the question of considering it in committee does not arise. Mr Chandrasekhar's remark came on a request made by CPI MP John Brittas urging Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankar to refrain from giving permission to lay the 'Parliamentary committee report' on Digital Personal Data Protection Bill.
No bill, including the proposed DPDP (Digital Personal Data Protection Bill), can be referred to any committee unless it is done so by Parliament. In turn, the bill can be only referred to the committee after the Cabinet-approved bill is introduced in Parliament. DPDP has not been introduced into Parliament, and so the question of considering it in committee doesn't arise, he said.
