RSS-affiliated group protests against Huawei’s 5G trials in India

New Delhi: The RSS-affiliated Swadeshi Jagaran Manch has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in protest against the DoT’s decision to allow Chinese company Huawei to conduct 5G trials in India.

In a letter to Modi, Ashwani Mahajan, SJM’s National Co-Convenor, expressed “disappointment after the Department of Telecom allowed the Chinese company Huawei to conduct 5G trials in India. As you are aware, that we endorse the development and evolution of technology and strongly back its use to make the human life more meaningful and easy. But we are equally conscious of the national security and the privacy issues of our fellow countrymen.”

The letter said the presence of Chinese companies in India’s telecommunications networks would compromise national security.
