Mumbai, Jul 2: The Shiv Sena on Thursday termed the ban on 59 Chinese apps by the Indian government as a "digital strike" and asked if these apps were a threat to the national security, how did they operate for so many years.
An editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' sought to know when did the Centre realise these apps were a threat to the national security.
By banning the Chinese apps, Prime Minister Narendra Modi protected the interests of Indian internet users and his courage has be lauded, the Marathi publication said.
India on Monday banned 59 apps with Chinese links, including TikTok, UC Browser, SHAREit and WeChat, saying they were prejudicial to sovereignty, integrity and security of the country.
"If these apps were a threat to national security, how is it that these apps were functioning without any hurdles for so many years. If the opposition says the government neglected national security,then what will the Centre's stand be?" the Shiv Sena asked.
It said questions should be raised on all the previous governments for "allowing national data to go out of the country".
China has expressed displeasure over the Indian government's decision, the Marathi daily said, adding that Chinese soldiers are "still not ready to leave the Galwan Valley (in Ladakh)".
The Sena said it took the sacrifices of 20 soldiers for the government to realise Indian data was being illegally taken out of the country.
"The government took revenge by a digital strike," it stated.
There have been complaints earlier that users' data on Chinese apps was illegally sent out of the country, and apps like TikTok were "promoting vulgarity", it said.
"Many TikTok stars had reportedly joined the BJP," the Sena claimed. "What will happen to them?" it asked.
There is a need to break China economically, but that will not happen by banning its apps. The issue is about trade and investment between the two countries, it said.
"The largest Chinese investment is in Gujarat.
Chinese company Huawei has got the contract to set up 5G network in India. This company having keys to India's digital economy is akin to the Chinese Communist Party owning the Indian economy in future," it said.

Uniting all community is the great noble work. No dispute.
There are also many other ways to do the same cause.
We Muslims should always remember, ISLAM religion is very strictly on ONENESS OF GOD.
That is one and only God. No other things to be associated.
some special attributions are
One and only God,
That is unique,
No parents, no childeren, no Family, no gender.
Just to address people say as HE, it does not mean he is male.
God's specials attribution is not seen any one. That is the forem ost belief. Contradicting to it is not accepting to ISLAM, not only it, also it is a UNFORGIVABLE SIN.
So this point has to be kept in mind,
So worshipping is not allowed even to our prophetMUHAMMAD (Peace be upon him) who brought this knowledge/religion.
Even our parents are not allowed to the same.
Therefore worshipping in the name of that God, as Durga, Ganesh showing them as structure of human being is a great sin.
Just pray one real God, pray and beg to him only. Do not make pluralism in God.
May God help
Imaan disappeared in the face and acts.( a knowledge in the heart, a voicing with the tongue and an activity with limbs taken away)
May Allah guide to follow righteus path, Aameen
