Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari has raised serious allegations
regarding the Data Protection Bill, claiming that it has been deliberately
classified as a money bill to bypass certain legislative procedures. The
controversial bill aims to address issues related to data privacy and
protection of personal information in India. Tewari argues that classifying
it as a money bill restricts the Rajya Sabha’s role in the legislation
process, effectively giving more power to the ruling party in its passage.
In response, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has refuted the allegations,
defending the bill’s classification as per the constitutional provisions.
The matter is likely to be subject to further debate and scrutiny within
the political circles.
