A parliamentary panel discussing the “Meta-Centre” row says the government wants Mark Zuckerberg to apologise after Meta removed a video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the panel’s statements reported by NDTV, the panel is led by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and frames the deletion as a challenge to democratic norms. The panel calls the removal of the Prime Minister’s video—described as representing India’s population of 1.4 billion people—an “attack on democracy.”
The reported comments are part of the panel’s ongoing deliberations on the actions of social media platforms and how content moderation decisions affect political figures and public discourse. While the government’s position is presented as seeking an apology from Zuckerberg, details on Meta’s specific rationale for deleting the video are not included in the provided text. The account therefore reflects the panel’s allegations and demands rather than any response from Meta or Zuckerberg in the same reporting.
