Congress writes to Facebook again, alleges ‘quid-pro-quo’ nexus with BJP

Congress alleged “quid-pro-quo” relationship between Facebook and the BJP on Saturday and wrote a letter to the social networking platform founder Mark Zuckerberg seeking information about steps the company is planning to take to investigate the matter.

“We draw your attention to the article in Time magazine dated Aug 27, 2020 that reveals more information and evidence of biases and a quid-pro-quo relationship of Facebook India with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” read the letter by Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal to Zuckerberg.

Venugopal said the article makes three main points that are “alarming and violate both the spirit and the law of operations of foreign companies in India”.
