Meta, the social media giant formerly known as Facebook, is looking at summons by India's Parliamentary Standing Committee after Mark Zuckerberg claimed that most incumbent governments, including India, were defeated in the 2024 elections. In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg claimed the ruling party lost the Lok Sabha polls due to its "weak Covid-19 response." Reacting to the remarks, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey said Meta would have to apologize to the Parliament.
