Arunachal Pradesh’s MLA Ninong Ering has drafted a letter to the PMO of India and nudged the government to ban the Battlegrounds Mobile India , while the game is at the pre-registration phase as per IGN India report.
Ering shared a post on Twitter with a letter addressing prime minister Narendra Modi which stated that most of Krafton’s India employees are migrated from Tencent, and Battlegrounds Mobile India’s Google Play Store official pre-registration link contains the term PUBG Mobile, and the company also invested $22.4 million to Nodwin gaming, and this might toss country’s security at stake.
Requested @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji to not allow Chinese deception #BattlegroundsMobileIndia. It is a big threat to security of India & privacy of our citizens and a way to circumvent & disregard our laws.@AmitShah #IndiaBanBattlegrounds #NationFirst #AatmaNirbharBharat @ANI pic.twitter.com/H8nzUJ4aRk

Adding to that Member of Parliament Abhishek Singhvi who stated Tencent will re-enter India with Battlegrounds Mobile India :
Instead of fighting pandemic, govt is allowing PUBG 2divert youth’s attention.Govt 1st banned it &then allowed indirect entry to company with 15.5% Chinese stake.
I haven’t seen a bigger fan of Chinese tech than parts of this govt .#BJPToolkitExposedhttps://t.co/XLCUpXhSLl— Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) May 19, 2021
Where one part of the country celebrating as the pre- registration of the Battlegrounds Mobile India has commenced, where the other part, these politicians are asking the government to ban the game even before it is actually available to play in India.
