Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday reiterated that the Sanchar Saathi app is not mandatory, addressing public concerns and social media chatter claiming otherwise.
Scindia clarified that the app is fully voluntary, can be uninstalled at any time, and activates only when a user chooses to enable its features.
“The government has simply provided Sanchar Saathi as a security tool. Whether people keep it on their phones or not is entirely their choice,” the minister said, dismissing allegations that citizens are being compelled to use it.
His remarks come amid growing speculation that the app was being pushed as a compulsory measure, especially following recent discussions online about digital surveillance and data privacy.
