Owaisi Slams Mandatory Sanchar Saathi App As ‘Government Snooping’

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticised the Centre for directing smartphone makers to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app, calling it a threat to citizen privacy and a tool for government snooping. He flagged the non-public circular and mandatory installation. Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia later clarified the app stays dormant unless registered and can be deleted by users.
