No compromise on BlackBerry: Pilot

Speaking to the mediapersons here after a BSNL function, he reiterated that legitimate concerns of law enforcement agencies must be addressed at the earliest.

“It is the endeavour of the Government of India to ensure that we do not leave anything to chance vis-à-vis the security concerns. If there are any concerns that are legitimate and raised by the law enforcement agencies, they must be addressed. Technology should not be a barrier for us to make sure that there is safety of citizens and internal security in the country,” Pilot asserted.

Appreciating the proposed interim solutions presented by the RIM, Pilot said the concerned officials would examine the steps within the next two months.

“They have offered some solutions to the law enforcement agencies and to the Home Ministry. The Home Ministry has also asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to examine those solutions for the next 60 days. The DoT will examine the solutions provided by RIM and BlackBerry,” he added.
