"Unprecedented Happenings in Parliamentary Panel on IT" – Shashi Tharoor

What has taken place in the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology comprising MPs from different political parties has never happened before in the country – the way proceedings were disrupted by members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was unprecedented, says Dr Shashi Tharoor, who heads the panel, in an exclusive interview with NewsClick. In a freewheeling conversation with Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, the three-time MP from Thiruvananthapuram not only expresses his views on toxic social media platforms but also on the state of the Congress party to which he belongs. He also answers a few personal questions.
