Senior Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor has given a big statement on Tuesday (December 2, 2025) regarding Sanchar Sathi app. Tharoor has said that this app can be useful for people, but every person should have his own choice whether he wants to download it or not. It should not be that everything is made mandatory by the Central Government and even if it is made mandatory, the government should tell us the reasons behind it. It is strange to get information about its facts from the news.
He said, “Every person in the country can use this app, can download it if they feel that this app is needed and if they feel that we do not need this app then they should also have the right in this democracy that I do not need it, so I will not take it.”
Government did not give reasons for necessity – Shashi Tharoor
Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor said during a conversation in the Parliament House complex, “If the government says that it is necessary to keep this app in one’s mobile, it is a rule or a law, then they will also have to tell what are the real reasons behind it. This matter has not been discussed inside the Parliament.”
If I find the app necessary then I will also use it – Shashi Tharoor
On the government’s claim of preventing cyber crime through the Sanchar Sathi app, Tharoor said, “Nobody wants cyber crime on their phones. If I feel this app is useful then I will also use it and if I don’t like it then I will not use it, that’s the simple thing.”
He said, “I think we should know more about making this app mandatory for everyone and why it is being done. There has been no discussion of any kind from the government regarding this.”
