1. W/reference to allegations circulated publicly recently by a member of the ParliamentaryCommittee on IT relating to the #ManipulatedMedia issue, this is to clarify that, given theCmt's inability to meet in current circumstances, it communicates w/Ministries in writing as reqd.
2. On the subject of the Ministry of IT's contacts with @Twitter on #ManipulatedMedia, the Committee Secretariat wrote to MEITY by email on 4 & 25 May & received a detailed & comprehensive reply dated 26 May, which is being circulated to all Members for their information.
@Twitter 3. The Committee are already examining the subject 'Safeguarding citizens' rights& prevention of misuse of social/online media platforms" which relates to this issue. It is therefore well within the Cmt's mandate to seek a clarification on this matter from the Ministry concerned.
@Twitter 4. As a matter of established practice&good form, Members with issues to raise relating to the work of a Parliamentary Cmt are advised to communicate directly with the Chairman and/or the Committee Secretariat, rather than ventilating their concerns in the media w/out discussion.
