Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has been summoned by Delhi Assembly's Peace and Harmony Committee on December 6 over her recent Instagram posts that the actor tweeted after PM Modi announced the decision of repealing the three contentious farm laws. Recently this committee summoned a Facebook India executive and grilled him for the social media's alleged role in failing to curb the hateful content that led to the riots in the Capital in 2020. The object of the committee is to recommend suitable measures to restore harmony among religious communities, social groups etc. The power of the committee is not uncontested as Facebook had moved the Supreme Court challenging the summons of the committee. In its verdict this year, the Supreme Court said the committee has the power to compel the attendance of members and outsiders on grounds of its privilege.
