Congressman Shashi Tharoor's sessions of the Standing Committee on Information technology had to be cancelled due to a lack of quorum. The meeting was called off when bharatiya janata party MPs refused to attend. In order for the committee to function, it must have at least nine members. It has 21 lok sabha members and 10 rajya sabha members, approximately half of them are from the ruling party. On Tuesday, bjp leaders also stormed out of the conference. Nishikant Dubey, a bjp MP, argued at the time that attending the meeting while the house was in session was inappropriate.

The administration was attempting to prevent a quorum before the IT Committee, according to congress MP Karti Chidambaram. He stated, "It's apparent that #Pegasus is a no-go region for this government." We'd like to point out that the assertion was inaccurate.

Shashank Dubey, the Rajya Sabha's Opposition Leader, has submitted a privilege resolution to remove Tharoor as the panel's chairman. Dubey called it "shocking" that the opposition does not want parliament to operate and instead wants the same topics debated in committee sessions. He stated that the government is willing to address the matter with the committee.

The Pegasus row exploded last Sunday, just before Parliament's monsoon session began. 38 journalists, former congress party head rahul Gandhi, two of his aides, political strategist prashant kishor, former election commissioner ashok Lavasa, and Union minister Prahlad patel were reportedly hacked, according to reports. The government has not acknowledged or disputed that it has bought the spyware.
