Turning Country Into a Dictatorship, says Priyanka 'Sanchar Saathi App'

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) move to mandate the pre-installation of the Sanchar Saathi application in all mobile handsets manufactured or imported in India has caused a political storm. 

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday criticised the recent order by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) mandating pre-installation of the cyber fraud reporting app Sanchar Saathi in all



mobiles.

While talking about the need to have a robust cyber fraud reporting mechanism, the Congress MP said there is a fine line between reporting fraud and violating the privacy of individuals, with the recent order doing the latter, she claimed. 

"It's not just one thing. It is not just snooping on telephones. It is overall, they are turning this country into a dictatorship.
