Congress wrote a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accusing FB India of 'interfering' with the country's electoral democracy. The grand old party has also demanded a time-bound high level inquiry into the conduct of Facebook India leadership team and their operations. In a letter to Zuckerberg, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said, 'Set up a high level inquiry by Facebook headquarters into the Facebook India leadership team and their operations and submit a report to the Board of Facebook within one or two months. The report should also be made public. We cannot allow any manipulation of our hard-earned democracy through bias, fake news and hate speech. As exposed by WSJ, Facebook’s involvement in peddling fake and hate news needs to be questioned by all Indians.'
