New Delhi: A strong plea was on Tuesday made in the Lok Sabha for ensuring net neutrality with demands that the recent consultation paper brought out by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) should be scrapped and attempts by certain telecom and internet service providers be scuttled.

Raising the issue during Zero Hour, M B Rajesh (CPI-M) alleged that the consultation paper brought out by the TRAI was 'blatantly supporting' assault on net neutrality by telecom and internet service providers. He said some telecom and internet providers were trying to form a cartel to kill net neutrality and such attempts should be scuttled.
