Congress MP Shashi Tharoor-led Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology has conveyed a strict message to Facebook that the company representatives will have to be physically present in front of the panel notwithstanding what Facebook's company policies say, news agency ANI reported.
This comes a day after the panel met Twitter representatives and reminded them that the microblogging platform has to abide by the laws of the country.
Facebook informed the parliamentary panel that they could attend an online meeting, which the panel jas rejected. The date of the meeting has not been finalised yet.
The panel has said that it will give the members enough time to complete their vaccination, but the meeting will be held in person.
