Motion in Rajya Sabha

IN Media Watch Briefs | 14/12/2012

The indefatigable Kerala MP P Rajeeve, who moved an annulment motion earlier against provisions on intermediaries under the IT Act, 2000, is moving a motion in the Rajya Sabha today on Sec 66(a) of the IT Act, 2000. The motion, which states that the language of the section goes far beyond the reasonable restrictions on freedom of speech, has sought to restrict its application to communication between two persons, precisely define offenses, reduce the penalties imposed and make the offense non-cognisable. Good luck to him!
