Following the ban of PUBG Mobile in India last year, Krafton, the parent company of the game, announced to relaunch the game in the country recently. While the developers are encouraging influencers and gamers to not associate Battlegrounds Mobile India with the now-banned-in-India PUBG Mobile, an MLA from Arunachal Pradesh is now demanding to re-ban the game ahead of its official release due to security concerns.
Ninong Ering, the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Pasighat West area of Arunachal Pradesh, recently wrote an official letter to India’s PM Narendra Modi, citing the security concerns of the upcoming title. You can check out the tweet right below.
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
The Reasons for Battlegrounds Mobile India Ban?
The MLA says that the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BMI) is simply an “illusion and a trick” to relaunch the same game, that is PUBG Mobile, with “minor modifications”. Ering says that Tencent currently has a 15.5% stake in Krafton and it might become a majority stakeholder soon and gain full control.
