FM defends govt’s move of banning 54 Chinese apps
By MYBRANDBOOK
While justifying the Centre's stringent measure to ban over 54 Chinese mobile applications over threats of security and private data breach, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman clarified all speculations and said that the banned apps were deemed unfit for social security and were found to be baleful to the country in one way or the other.
Speaking on the issue, Finance Minister Sitharaman said that the “Apps got banned because they were found to be deleterious in one way or another for the country.” She further claimed that the app ban is solely based on the cyber security threat, the physical trade continues between both the countries.
The Centre has already taken a number of steps against China in the pursuit of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) goal. India recently banned 54 more Chinese Apps deemed as a threat to the privacy and security of Indians.
Prior to this, the Centre has already banned a total of 224 Chinese apps. This comes amid growing calls for drastically altering the economic relationship with China in the wake of the Galwan Valley clash in which 21 Indian Army personnel were martyred.
