In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, a parliamentary panel on Communications and IT has instructed the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) and Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) ministries to outline actions against social media platforms and influencers allegedly working against national interests. Concerned about online entities inciting violence, the panel seeks details on potential bans under the Information Technology Act. The ministries must submit responses by May 8. This move comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the deadly April 22 attack in Jammu and Kashmir. (PC: India Today )
