Meanwhile, in the interaction that went for nearly two hours, they were also questioned on the quantum of Facebook's revenue as well as the profit they are making in India.
Das, who was recently alleged to have ignored hate speech on its platform, along with other representatives gave a detailed presentation.
Last month, amid severe criticism of Facebook and the Central government over the alleged collusion of Das and the BJP, Union Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad wrote a hard-hitting letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, blaming the Facebook India management of alleged bias against people supporting the right-of-center ideology.
