Sir, though we know that Treasury Benches have an agenda of political revenge, still, we are bound to obey the Supreme Court verdict. I would like to know from the Minister, through you, Sir,: Is it true that the Supreme Court of India has ordered a stay on the creation of a Fact-Check unit by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) this year in March, 2024? If yes, please state the reasons behind it. Why was the creation of a Fact-Check Unit stayed by the hon. Supreme Court and Bombay High Court too?
