Scindia on Tuesday clarified that the Sanchar Saathi application is entirely voluntary for consumers, reiterating that neither installation nor activation is mandatory. Addressing reporters outside Parliament, he stressed that users retain full autonomy; those who do not wish to use the app are free not to register, and they may also delete it at any time. “If you want to activate it, do so. If you do not want to activate it, don’t. Delete it if you wish. It is entirely your choice,” said the minister.
