The government clarified that the Sanchar Saathi App can be deleted by users, stating their role was only to introduce it. This statement followed a political uproar over the mandatory pre-installation of the app on mobile handsets, with the opposition raising privacy concerns and likening it to a ‘snooping app’.  NEW DELHI: The Centre on Tuesday clarified that the Sanchar Saathi App could be deleted by the user from their mobile phones, adding that the government’s job was only to “introduce this app to everyone”. The clarification came after a massive political row erupted over the government’s dictum to makers to pre-install the app in mobile handsets.The opposition had flagged serious privacy concerns over the move, likening it to “Pegasus” and calling it a “snooping app.””If you don’t want Sanchar Sathi, you can delete it. It is optional… It is our duty to introduce this app to everyone. Keeping it in their devices or not, is upto the user” ANI quoted Union minister for communications Jyotiraditya Scindia saying.A day before, the department of telecommunications (DoT) pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on devices sold in India, calling it a move towards “strengthening cybersecurity and curbing IMEI misuse.”The move drew strong reactions from the opposition leaders with Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi calling it a “dictatorship” move.”It is a snooping app. It’s ridiculous.

Everybody who needs them should be able to download them. Making anything compulsory in a democracy is troubling. But I need to look a little more into what the logic is of the government. In fact, the government should explain all this to the public instead of just passing an order that the media reports.
