The Central Home Ministry has charged Vodafone, telecom company based in UK and providing service in India, of secretly sharing its data with the British Intelligence and security organisation “Govt. Communication head Quarters(GCHQ”).
Though Vodafone has denied the charge, it is well known that foreign telecom companies are sharing the data with their governments. What is required is not only accusing them, but completely ban them from providing service in india.
The government has been giving a long rope to the Vodafone. There are two or more cases pending against them for not paying the taxes, which has accumulated to about Rs. 30,000 crore. But the government failed to collect the same.And now this serious charge of espionage.
The Government should take immediate action instead of dancing to the tune of the MNCs.
