कांग्रेस सांसद सुरजेवाला: संचार साथी ऐप से भारत निगरानी राज्य बन रहा है

Delhi | Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala says, "India is being transformed into a surveillance state through the Sanchar Saathi app. The government has made it mandatory for every cellphone manufacturer and importer to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app. The government has also asked cellphone manufacturers to install the Sanchar Saathi app in existing smartphones via a software update. The third part of the order says that the Sanchar Saathi app can neither be amended nor deleted. The government can now track every activity of the smartphone user using the Sanchar Saathi app... The government can possibly listen to all your conversations. The government will have all your call and chat records... Your financial transactions will also be available to the government, including your private photographs. God forbid, if an international hacker hacks the Sanchar Saathi app, then there will be a huge data breach. Making this mandatory without the consent of the smartphone users is against the law and it should not be imposed. Was there any discussion with any stakeholder? No... I have raised this issue in the Parliament and sought answers from the government... Why are they forcibly installing the app in smartphones if they can be deleted later? What is the point? If there is a data breach during this, will the minister take ownership? Will he be accountable?... India is being transformed into a fascist country like North Korea.
