The Department Related Standing Committee for Information Technology chaired by Shashi Tharoor had summoned Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Wednesday for a dialogue on the suspension of telecom providers and web in Jammu and Kashmir. However, sources on Tuesday advised CNN-Information18 that Bhalla has written to Tharoor citing the reason why he is not going to be current earlier than the committee.
Bhalla has cited Rule 270 of the Lok Sabha procedures, which says, “A Committee shall have power to send for persons, papers and records provided that if any question arises whether the evidence of a person or the production of a document is relevant for the purposes of the Committee, the question shall be referred to the Speaker whose decision shall be final. Provided further that Government may decline to produce a document on the ground that its disclosure would be prejudicial to the safety or interest of the State.”
The J&Ok administration final week prolonged the ban on 3G-4G cellular web, excluding Ganderbal and Udhampur districts, until November 26, citing elections in 280 District Development Council (DDC) seats and by-elections as one of many causes to prolong the ban.
The committee will meet at four pm on Wednesday and Another disagreement is anticipated between the BJP and opposition MPs.
