On April 4, 2026, Rahul Gandhi (Congress leader) accused the Modi government of jeopardizing the security of Indian citizens by concealing the extent of foreign surveillance, particularly through Chinese CCTV cameras. He pointed out that while the government has banned the public use of these cameras, they still remain installed in government buildings. Gandhi also raised concerns about banned Chinese apps resurfacing under different names and foreign AI platforms processing sensitive data without adequate government oversight. He expressed frustration over the Ministry of Electronics and IT's lack of specific responses to his parliamentary inquiries regarding the origins and security certifications of these technologies. In defense, Minister Jitin Prasada asserted that the government is aware of cybersecurity risks and has implemented various measures to enhance India's digital ecosystem, including the National Security Directive on Trusted Sources and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2022. However, Gandhi emphasized that the government's failure to disclose critical security information continues to put citizens at risk.
