After Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who heads the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology, said the panel would like to hear from Facebook about the report, a Delhi Assembly panel also said it will summon Facebook officials, including Das, over complaints of "deliberate and intentional inaction to contain hateful content" in India. In its reaction, Facebook said the company's social media platform prohibits hate speech and content that incites violence, adding these policies are enforced globally without regard to political affiliation.
