India soon to get a new version of Data Protection Bill: IT Minister
By MYBRANDBOOK
Ashwini Vaishnaw, IT Minister, has declared that the ministry will bring a new version of the Data Protection Bill. He also said that the ministry will bring a complete overhaul of cyber laws and soon a new Telecom Bill will be presented.
"I request the judicial community to come up with suggestions based on their experience in the day-to-day working of our judicial system. We're coming up with a complete overhaul of Cyber Laws & very soon, we'll also present a New Telecom Bill," tweeted the Ministry of Electronics & IT.
He added, "We will also be coming up with a new version of the Data Protection Bill; a Digital India Act worked on. We are making the online world more accountable for what is published there," MIET further tweeted.
Data protection is one of the most important issues being debated in public space because of the growing role of technology in the lives of people. So the government has decided to withdraw the Personal Data Protection Bill and come up with more comprehensive legislation.
The Joint Committee of Parliament has examined the bill and has made major recommendations making it necessary for the government to relook at the bill.
Vaishnaw in August moved a motion for withdrawal of the bill in Lok Sabha. The government is likely to develop more comprehensive legislation in the winter session of Parliament.
