"Severe Assault On Parliamentary Democracy": Shashi Tharoor On IT Panel
The Congress's Shashi Tharoor, who heads the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology, told NDTV today that he is "unhappy with the way the committee is treated". "Democratic principles are being cast to the winds by the government," he said. On the absence of officials from key meetings, he said, "It's a severe assault on the parliamentary democracy". He also said he's actively in touch with Twitter over the Congress account being locked. "I am actively engaged with Twitter about the suspending of accounts from the Congress. I have taken a firm stand on this and I'm actively engaged with them to restore the account."
