Meta's global team in India tomorrow: Govt amid row over PM Modi's reel removal
Govt summons Meta global team in India on August 5-6, says IT Secretary S Krishnan.
Mahua Moitra expressed her support for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg following the controversy surrounding the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook reel.
