The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|December 03, 2025
THE political row over the Sanchar Saathi App issue escalated on Tuesday with Congress terming it BJP's yet "another attempt to strangulate the people's voice".
Likening the move to dictatorship, the opposition party called it a 'snooping app', and demanded its immediate rollback.
Sharpening the attack, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the government initiated this move without consulting any political parties or stake holders.
The Department of Telecom (DoT) has directed manufacturers and importers of mobile handsets to ensure that its fraud reporting app Sanchar Saathi is preinstalled in all new devices within 90 days.
