A day after the government banned another batch of 47 Chinese apps, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the Modi government wanted to ban PUBG, a popular online video game, but realised that if the youth stops playing the game, they will talk about unemployment. In a tweet, Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, “Modiji really wanted to ban PubG but realized that if the youth do not have the distractions of the fantasy world, they will ask for real world things like jobs and that will be an issue.” On Monday, it was announced that India has banned 47 more apps with links to China, most being clones or from the same parent company whose main applications were banned last month. The banned clones include TikTok Lite, Helo Lite, Shareit Lite and Bigo Live Lite, among others.
