After the report was released, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, said the story was “completely wrong” and based on “unbridled creative imagination” and “lack of understanding” from part of Reuters. She declined to elaborate further.
A senior government official speaking nonverbally said pre-installed apps may be a security liability and the state wants to make sure foreign nations, like China, aren’t exploiting them. “It is a matter of national security,” they added.

Under the allegedly proposed rules, manufacturers will have to provide an uninstall option for all apps that come with the phone, and new models will be checked for compliance by an authorized lab.
