New Delhi, December 02: A demand was made in the Rajya Sabha to arrest the chief of Google India and impose a ban on the site for allegedly hosting advertisements related to pre-natal sex determination in violation of law.
“The chief of the Google India site should be arrested and prosecuted immediately and a ban should be put on the Google site,” Brinda Karat (CPI-M) said raising the the issue during Zero Hour.
Karat said the Government had earlier issued a warning to Google in this regard but the site has again started putting sponsored advertisements about clinics doing pre-natal tests.
She sought to know why the ministry of IT & Communication is not taking any action against Google for the violation of the provisions of Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act asking whether it is “connivance or callousness” on the part of the government.
