Amid border tensions with China, the government on Monday banned 59 mobile apps including Tik Tok, UC Browser and other Chinese apps "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity and defence" of the country.
Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam has come out in support of the Indian government's decision of banning the Chinese applications. He also expressed concern over the ban on Tiktok that would leave many youth of the country unemployed.
“Banning Chinese apps is the right decision. But with the TikTok ban, millions of youth of our country will become unemployed. And we will be deprived of the cheapest, pure and homely entertainment of this period. The sudden end of TikTok stars is a tragedy. Humble tribute to this immense talent,” Sanjay Nirupam said in a tweet.
