India is continuing to show it won’t back down from China’s aggression,” Haley tweeted.
The Indian government on Monday announced that it had decided to block 59 apps in view of the information available that “they are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order”.
Information Technology Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the government has banned the apps for the safety, security, defense, sovereignty, and integrity of India.

“We welcome India”s ban on certain mobile apps. India”s clean app approach will boost India’s sovereignty and boost integrity and national security,” Pompeo said.
