Ajit Pai is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the US has formally released a draft of its plan to kill net-neutrality rules - a decision that has met with a huge backlash. The end of net-neutrality rules moves to give broadband service providers sweeping power over what content consumers can access - and this, in turn, has led to many criticizing FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, a Republican appointed by President Donald Trump. Thousands have signed a petition asking for Mr Pai, an Indian American, to resign.However, comedian Hari Kondabolu has a different solution - one that will make any desi person tremble - talking to Ajit Pai's parents.
