Sanchar Saathi App mandate a 'dystopian tool', says KC Venugopal
Congress MP KC Venugopal slammed the DoT's mandate to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on mobile phones, calling it a "dystopian tool" that threatens privacy. Critics argue it enables government surveillance, while the DoT defends it as a measure for citizen safety, handset verification, and fraud reporting, requiring manufacturers to comply within 90 days.
