According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the government has imposed this ban under the provisions of Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. The government says that all these apps are a threat to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the state and public order.
In late June, the government also banned a total of 59 apps in India, including popular apps like TikTok, Shareit, UC Browser and WeChat. Subsequently, about 47 apps were banned, all of which were mostly clones or slightly different versions of previously banned apps. In early September, the government banned 118 apps and games, including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite.
