Mark Zuckerberg in trouble, Meta likely to get India summons over 2024 Lok Sabha election remark
Live MintTrouble seems to be mounting for Mark Zuckerberg as a Parliamentary committee is expected to summon META over the Facebook founder’s “factually incorrect” statement, which described the Lok Sabha 2024 election as a loss for the “incumbent” government due to its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zuckerberg’s claim that most incumbent governments, including India in 2024 elections, lost post-COVID is factually incorrect. From free food for 800 million, 2.2 billion free vaccines, and aid to nations worldwide during COVID, to leading India as the fastest-growing major economy, PM Modi's decisive 3rd-term victory is a testament to good governance and public trust.” He added that India, the world's largest democracy, conducted the 2024 general election, which involved more than 640 million voters. Vaishnaw stated that Zuckerberg’s claim that most incumbent governments, including India in the 2024 elections, lost post-COVID is factually incorrect.
