It’s up to government to take a call on Huawei issue: TRAI

Telecom regulator TRAI on Monday said the issue of whether India needs to take a stand on Huawei is a “larger question” and that it is up to the government to take a call on the matter.

Last week, the Trump administration had placed Huawei and its affiliates on a blacklist, a move that essentially bans the Chinese firm from purchasing parts and components from American companies without the US government approval.

Replying to a query on whether India needs to take a position on Huawei also, TRAI Chairman R S Sharma told reporters, “This is a larger question and the government will have to take a call.”
