The words appeared in the draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, which Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw tweeted seeking the public's views on the proposed law that would broadly recognise an individual's right to protect personal data and also the need to process personal data for lawful purposes.
"We have attempted in the philosophy of women's empowerment that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's government works to use the words she and her in the entire bill, instead of he, him and his. So this is an innovative thing which has been attempted in the bill," Mr Vaishnaw said.
