Withdrawal of the Personal Data Protection Bill was a bad move

The Hindu  

In a surprise development last week, the Government withdrew the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, thereby abruptly halting the country’s quest for a national data protection law that had been in the works for over five years. Editorial |A fresh opportunity: On the rollback of the Personal Data Protection Bill The Ministry’s attribution of the withdrawal to the JPC Report is also at odds with the proposed amendments of the JPC, which did not recommend withdrawing the PDP Bill in favour of a comprehensive legal framework. The committee released its draft Personal Data Protection Bill in 2018, which was the first public articulation of a data protection law in India. In December 2019, the Government introduced the PDP Bill, 2019 in the Lok Sabha as a comprehensive personal data protection regime.
