Putting BlackBerry in isolation to be harmful for India:Canada
BLACKBERRY
Chandigarh, Sep 9 (PTI) Canada on Thursday cautioned India
that putting BlackBerry mobile phone device in isolation will
be "counter productive" for New Delhi's endeavours to secure
modern technology.
"Blackberry is one of the most popular electronic
appliances...900 companies depend upon it...it should not be
treated in isolation with other devices otherwise it will be
harmful for India and counter productive for steps taken for
modern technology," Canada's Minister for Citizenship and
Immigration Jason Kenney told reporters here.
He was responding to the querry pertaining to the
controversy surrounding the move to ban Blackberry unless the
Canadian maker of the phone RIM gave access to all its
services to Indian security agencies.
"I am proud of the success of the Canadian company...we
are encouraging India not to choke down such a technology," he
said, adding BlackBerry should not be treated differently by
any other rule pertaining to electronic devices in India.
He said he had taken up the issue with Home Minister P
Chidambaram who had assured him of a "solution" to the
controversy surrounding the Blackberry.
On the recent refusal of visa to certain police officers
and BSF personnel by Canadian government on the ground of
"violation" of human rights, he said the Canadian government
had been reviewing the inadmissibility findings of law while
handling such applications.
"The law on the inadmissibility findings on which visa
was refused was being reviewed by the government," he said,
adding however that Canada recognised India as a great
democracy and respected the Indian Army and the work of
security agencies here. PTI VJ
