Congress Questions Potential TikTok Relaunch in India

Speculation about the comeback of the Chinese short-video app TikTok in India has intensified, prompting the Congress party to express its concerns. A post on X from the Congress alluded to a potential return, citing the functioning of a ‘TikTok’ website in India. The post referenced the 20 Indian soldiers who lost their lives in a conflict with China and criticized the government’s initial approach. The Congress alleged that after an initial perceived leniency towards China, a ban on TikTok was implemented, supposedly due to pressure. The Congress also noted the Prime Minister’s interactions with China, including meetings with Chinese officials and a planned visit, against the backdrop of the TikTok news. The party suggests that the government is prioritizing its relationship with China over national interests, potentially compromising on matters of national security in the process.
