India on Monday banned 59 Chinese mobile applications amid border stand-off with the neighbouring country. The government has cited national security for banning these apps.
The ban covers some of the most popular apps in India like TikTok, SHAREiT, UC Browser and WeChat.
Almost all the apps banned have some preferential Chinese interest and the majority have parent Chinese companies.
The workers of DOGRA FRONT & SHIV SENA under the leadership of President Mr ASHOK GUPTA took out a rally celebrating the Indian government move to ban the 59 Chinese apps in India.
Mr ASHOK GUPTA said that the decision to ban these apps was taken after it was found that “they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order.
He further stated that has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about the misuse of some mobile apps available on Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorised manner to servers which have locations outside India.
Indian intelligence agencies had been trying to restrict the mobile applications on grounds that the apps were designed to extract data and park them outside the country, where at a later stage they could be used to intrude into the privacy of Indian citizens.
There are estimated to be about 120 million TikTok users in India, making the South Asian nation of 1.3 billion people the app’s biggest international market so a ban like this has hit the Chinese hard and due to this the Indian app “Chingari” which is like Indian Tik Tok has seen more than 35 lakh downloads in a single day.
He further stated that the government is planing to impose an import duty of 45-47 % on 149 goods. Stating an example India used to be big hub for solar panel and slant cells as it was even exported to other nations but after the entry of Chinese companies the Indian manufacturing ended and as of now the governments move will bring back the Indian companies and makes us Atmanirbhar.
China will be beaten by India on two fronts Defence as well as economical. China which boasts itself to be the export hub of the world will be facing boycott the from the entire world.
The party people who were present at the time of protest were Abhishek, Prem, Bantu, Kalu, Naresh and various others were present.
