Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma has landed himself on the firing line of the social media yet again. This time Sharma has caught the ire of netizens for supporting the government’s move to ban 59 apps that were of ‘Chinese origin.’ Netizens were quick to pounce on the opportunity and did not waste any time in reminding Sharma of the investment made into Paytm from Chinese investors.

“Bold step in the national interest. A step towards Atmanirbhar App ecosystem. Time for the best Indian entrepreneurs to come forward and build the best by Indians, for Indians!” Sharma had tweeted applauding the step taken by the government.
