Video Description

The Lallantop Show, Episode no. 1896| 02 December 2025 In today’s LT show, Saurabh is discussing the following news One day it’s forced on every phone in India, the next day the minister says 'no, it’s optional', yet the original notification still stands unchanged. The opposition smells Orwell; privacy activists are in panic mode. Sanchar Saathi is the mobile version of the government’s CEIR portal launched to block lost or stolen phones and stop circulation of devices with fake or duplicate IMEI. Citizens can file complaints to block devices nationwide within minutes and check if a second-hand phone is legal through the Know Your Mobile feature. The app brings all these services under one roof instead of visiting the portal. The app seeks access to camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, storage, photos and ability to read phone state and IMEI. While many banking and messaging apps also ask for several permissions, Sanchar Saathi demands more than popular apps like Truecaller. Critics question why an app meant only for blocking lost phones needs camera and microphone access at all. We'll talk to experts. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha saw protests for the second consecutive day over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and the Sanchar Saathi controversy. Opposition members trooped into the well shouting slogans against both moves. Despite Scindia’s clarification in Rajya Sabha that the app is optional, both Houses were adjourned till 2 PM. Pakistan planned to send relief material to cyclone-affected Sri Lanka and some Pakistani media outlets falsely claimed India denied airspace permission. India granted instant clearance to the flight carrying tents and medicines. The Ministry of External Affairs rejected the reports as baseless and reiterated that humanitarian aid rises above politics. While hearing a plea on “missing” detained Rohingyas, CJI Surya Kant remarked: “If someone illegally enters India by cutting fences or digging tunnels, should we welcome them with a red carpet?” Court said illegal immigrants cannot claim full legal benefits; the case tagged with other Rohingya matters, next hearing 16 December. The Supreme Court continued hearing bail pleas of Umar Khalid and others in the 2020 Delhi riots larger conspiracy case under UAPA. Kapil Sibal argued that Khalid’s Amaravati speech only quoted the Preamble of the Constitution and cannot attract anti-terror charges. Delhi Police had earlier objected that accused remember the Constitution only when seeking bail. The copyright ownership in the video rests with India Today Group.
