Indian officials plan to summon Meta over Zuckerberg's comments on India's election losses.

Indian parliamentary officials plan to summon Meta, Facebook's parent company, over CEO Mark Zuckerberg's comments suggesting India's ruling government lost the 2024 elections due to mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic. Zuckerberg made these remarks on a podcast, which sparked backlash from Indian politicians, with Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw calling the statement "factually incorrect." The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology, led by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, intends to demand an apology from Meta for spreading misinformation about India's democratic system.
