NGO Asks Government to Ban BGMI-PUBG
BGMI-PUBG Ban? Meanwhile a non-profit organisation has urged the government to block the Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) app under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The NGO has cited threat to national security and public order.
Prahar the NGO has written to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in this regard.
BGMI is published by South Korean game developer studio Krafton in India, and is an Indian version of its popular battle royale game, PlayersUnknown Battlegrounds (PUBG), which was banned in 2020 as part of a wider restriction on Chinese apps.
Prahar said in the letter that Chinese internet major Tencent has a 15% stake in Krafton, and so it should be no different from a recent ban on another popular game — Free Fire — where Tencent has an 18% stake.
“In the so-called new avatar, the BGMI-PUBG is no different from erstwhile PUBG with Tencent still controlling it in the background,” said Abhay Mishra, president, Prahar.
