Singhvi said the department is also focusing on issues related to the upcoming assembly elections.”So, all this was discussed in a very free, frank and open manner. We are so grateful that our senior colleagues are here; they gave very valuable inputs, so did our young colleagues. We will now organise them and slowly tick the boxes and start implementing them,” he said.Singhvi said that social media is a very important part of everything related to law. “Today, fake news is just a small word for it. Today, all kinds of nonsense and false propaganda is spread on social media. I do not want to use a harsh word, you can call it garbage, it is spread there only with the hope that it will run for some time. So our team has already filed FIRs in the last three weeks. But this keeps happening, so we will form a team for it in a systematic manner,” he said.The meeting was also attended by Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh, Rajya Sabha MP Syed Naseer Hussain and AICC secretary Vineet Punia.The department includes the likes of senior lawyers Salman Khurshid, KTS Tulsi and Vivek Tankha.While Singhvi has been named the chairman of the department, the panel comprises Khurshid, Tankha, Tulsi, Harin Raval, Prashanto Sen, Devdatt Kamath and Vipul Maheshwari.The executive panel has Muhammad Ali Khan as its secretary.
