Swadeshi Jagaran Manch demands ban on Elon Musks Starlink, says 'significant threat to national security'

Speaking to ANI on the issue, SJM National Co-Convener Ashwani Mahajan said, "In a press release issued today, the organisation called for a ban on the satellite-based internet services provided by Elon Musk's Starlink, citing the potential for the company to pose a significant threat to national security. The concern stems from the fact that Starlink utilises laser technology to transmit messages between satellites, potentially bypassing India's designated internet gateways; this means data could be transmitted abroad without Indian oversight, creating a major security risk."
