"Banning of 118 more Chinese Apps by Union Government today is a major milestone step against misdeeds of China and will certainly boost the morale of the Country," said Praveen Khandelwal, Secretary General of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).
Khandelwal said that banning more Chinese Apps other than 59 already banned Chinese apps was all the more necessary as these Apps were always a threat to Country’s safety, security and sovereignty as also for the protection of individual data these apps were accruing through their usages.
