New Delhi: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg  in his second visit to India spoke on various issues ranging from net neutrality  to future plans of Facebook. Zuckerberg's visit at the townhall at IIT Delhi follows the Menlo Park chapter at Facebook headquarters which was held during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's second US visit.

Zuckerberg said his firm is working on an open framework and continues to ‘lobby' for net neutrality even as its plan to provide free Internet access to people under Free Basics programme faces criticism.
