Snooping not possible with Sanchar Saathi app, says Scindia as privacy debate rages on

New Delhi: Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday firmly rejected allegations that the government-backed Sanchar Saathi app could be used for snooping on citizens.

Speaking during Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, Scindia said the app has no surveillance capability and will not be activated unless a user decides to register.

“Snooping is neither possible nor will it happen with the Sanchar Saathi safety app,” he said in Parliament.
