CPI MP Binoy Viswam says the government is misusing Rajya Sabha rules and taking an alien stand on truth

The Centre sought to disallow in the Rajya Sabha, a question seeking details on whether the government entered into a contract with Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group, at the centre of a global controversy over the misuse of its Pegasus spyware to hack phones of journalists, activists and politicians, stating that “the ongoing issue of Pegasus” is subjudice after “several PILs have been filed in the Supreme Court,” according to officials aware of the development and documents reviewed by HT.
The Centre wrote to the Rajya Sabha secretariat earlier this week seeking that a “Provisionally Admitted Question”(PAQ) asked by CPI MP Binoy Viswam scheduled to be answered on August 12 in the upper house, not be allowed.
“I have been informed informally that my question was disallowed but I am yet to get a formal response… the Government is misusing Rajya Sabha rules and taking an alien stand on truth. They must face questions on the issue of the Pegasus,” said Viswam.
In his “Provisionally Admitted Question”(PAQ), reviewed by HT, with the subject ‘Government of India MoU with Foreign Companies,’ Viswam asked: “Will the Minister of External Affairs be pleased to state (a) the number of MoUs Government has entered into with foreign companies, the details sector-wise; (b) whether any of these MoU’s with foreign companies has been in order to curb terror activities through cyber security, the details of the same; and (c) whether Government has entered into a MoU with NSO Group in order to curb terror activities through cyber security across the nation, if so, provide details thereof?”
In the letter sent to the Rajya Sabha secretariat requesting that the question not be allowed, the Centre said: “It would be noted that Part (a) to (c) of PAQ seeks to know about the ongoing issue of Pegasus owned by NSO Group. On this issue, several PILs have been filed in the Supreme Court, making this issue subjudice.”
It added: “According to Rule 47 (xix) of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Council of States (Rajya Sabha), dealing with admissibility of questions, an admitted question “shall not ask for information on matter which is under adjudication by a court of law having jurisdiction in any part of India”.
According to the Rajya Sabha website, the admissibility of notice given by Members in respect of questions in Rajya Sabha is governed by Rules 47-50 of Rules and Procedure and Conduct of Council of States (Rajya Sabha). As per Rule 47 sub section ( xix) the following are the conditions of admissibility of a question: “It shall not ask for information on a matter which is under adjudication by a court of law having jurisdiction in any part of India.”
“It is mentioned in rule 47, sub rule 2 that matters that are subjudice are not admitted in the house,” said RS secretariat media advisor to the chairman AA Rao.
The Pegasus row erupted on July 18 after an international investigative consortium reported that the phones of Indian ministers, politicians, activists, businessmen and journalists were among the 50,000 numbers from around the world that were potentially targeted by the Israeli company NSO Group’s phone hacking software. NSO says its software is sold only to government customers. The Indian government has neither confirmed nor denied that it used Pegasus and has ruled out any illegal surveillance.
PDT Acharya, a former Lok Sabha general secretary said: “There have been occasions when the speaker decided that if the matter is of great public interest, even if it is subjudice, the House can discuss it… there is no external pressure on the house. The house has imposed the restriction on itself and this position has changed over a period of time… ‘subjudice’ as such has lost much of its rigour. The house has been as such liberal and they look at the importance and public interest.” “You cannot mechanically apply the rule to all subjudice matter. If public interest demands there should be discussion in the house.”
“Questions submitted by MPs go through two levels of scrutiny to check that they comply with the rules of Parliament. First, the parliament secretariat makes sure that the questions that MPs are raising conform with the parliamentary guidelines. The ministry answering the question also checks the adherence to rules for the questions…,” said Chakshu Roy, head of Outreach, PRS Legislative Research. “In the budget session, out of the 330,00 questions that MPs submitted, approximately 2,000, that is about 6%, were disallowed.”

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!
Things i have constantly told individuals is that when searching for a good on-line electronics retail store, there are a few components that you have to take into consideration. First and foremost, you need to make sure to get a reputable plus reliable retailer that has gotten great evaluations and scores from other buyers and business sector experts. This will make sure that you are getting along with a well-known store that provides good service and help to it’s patrons. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this website.
I will also like to mention that most people who find themselves with no health insurance are usually students, self-employed and those that are jobless. More than half from the uninsured are under the age of 35. They do not experience they are in need of health insurance as they are young plus healthy. Their particular income is usually spent on houses, food, and also entertainment. Most people that do represent the working class either full or part-time are not presented insurance by way of their work so they proceed without due to rising cost of health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the ideas you talk about through this blog.
Thanks for this wonderful article. One other thing is that a lot of digital cameras arrive equipped with any zoom lens that enables more or less of a scene to become included simply by ‘zooming’ in and out. These types of changes in focusing length are reflected inside viewfinder and on large display screen right on the back of this camera.
Hey very nice site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your I’m happy to find so many useful information here in the post, we need develop more techniques in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
You should take part in a contest for top-of-the-line blogs on the web. I’ll advocate this website!
I抎 need to verify with you here. Which isn’t something I usually do! I get pleasure from reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for permitting me to remark!
Thanks for your blog post. I would also love to say that your health insurance broker also works well with the benefit of the coordinators of your group insurance policies. The health broker is given a long list of benefits wanted by somebody or a group coordinator. What a broker will is try to find individuals or coordinators which usually best match those needs. Then he presents his advice and if each party agree, this broker formulates a legal contract between the 2 parties.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all folks you really know what you’re speaking approximately! Bookmarked. Please also consult with my website =). We may have a hyperlink exchange contract between us!
I acquired more something totally new on this weight-loss issue. Just one issue is a good nutrition is especially vital whenever dieting. A tremendous reduction in junk food, sugary food, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and white colored flour products can be necessary. Possessing wastes bloodsuckers, and contaminants may prevent ambitions for losing fat. While selected drugs temporarily solve the condition, the awful side effects are usually not worth it, and they never offer you more than a temporary solution. It is a known indisputable fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this site.

Appreciate you for sharing all these wonderful posts. In addition, the ideal travel in addition to medical insurance program can often reduce those considerations that come with traveling abroad. Any medical crisis can quickly become too expensive and that’s sure to quickly set a financial impediment on the family’s finances. Having in place the suitable travel insurance package prior to leaving is worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot
