Google gives in to Punjab CM’s demand, takes down mobile app ‘2020 Sikh Referendum’ from Play Store

Giving in to Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s demand, IT giant Google has removed the secessionist, anti-India mobile application, ‘2020 Sikh Referendum’, from its Play Store with immediate effect.

Stating this here on Tuesday, a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said that this app was not available any more on Google Play Store for mobile users in India.

The chief minister, who had also urged the central government to persuade Google in the matter, had asked the state police chief to coordinate with central security agencies to tackle the threat resulting from the launch of the app, created by ‘ICETECH’.
