He said, "We have banned PUBG because it is our duty to all of you to keep the internet safe, to keep the internet trusted. While we love innovation, we love what youngsters all over the world are doing but we also have an obligation to make sure that things are not bad, things are not unsafe and things are not mistrusted."
He added, "So, there are aspects where we will intervene and say this is not good and we will layout transparently the criteria for why it's not good. We want to make sure that for 120 crore Indians, the internet is always safe and trusted."
