Tharoor, Nishikant move privilege motion against each other over ‘FB bias’

The face-off between the BJP and the Congress over controversy related to Facebook allegedly showing favours to the ruling party has spilled over in the standing committee for Information and Technology where both the parties have moved privilege motion against each other.

The Department Related Standing Committee for Information and Technology is chaired by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.

While Tharoor has moved a privilege motion notice against BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey, the latter has also moved a privilege motion notice against Tharoor as well as former Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

According to sources, Tharoor on Tuesday filed a privilege motion notice against the BJP MP from Jharkhand and soon after this, Dubey took to Twitter to announce a breach of privilege motion notice against both Tharoor and Rahul for casting aspersions on the BJP as a party.
