By Our Reporter With the endorsement of the Information Technology Bill with majority in the Development and Technology Committee under House of Representatives, the government plans to control social networks is likely to come into effect soon. Although a section of the media has opposed the bill, it is likely to be a law soon, paving ways for the government to book the persons who post materials violating the same laws. Though lawmakers remained divided into two different groups for the clauses in the Informational and Communication Technology (ICT) bill, the subject committee approved it for further procedure. The committee had amended 36 of its 131 clauses of its original draft. Mostly, lawmakers from ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) called for the approval of the bill with the amendments in its 36 points whereas the lawmakers of main opposition Nepali Congress party demanded for the removal of clauses 88, 91 and 94. Lawmaker of ruling party said the endorsement of the ICT bill would make information and technology sector systematic. Lawmaker Top Bahadur Rayamajhi said that they respected the people’s rights to information and news and views published but the regulation was also essential. But the lawmaker from opposition party said that the clauses in 88, 91 and 94 were against the spirit of the Constitution. Lawmaker Rangamati Sahi objected to the bill stating that the clauses included restriction to speak against the government. Lawmaker Ganesh Pahadi also said that people could be victimised in the name of systemizing.
