Mukul Rohtagi refuses to represent Chinese app Tik-Tok

New Delhi/UNI: Former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi on Wednesday refused to appear for Chinese video-sharing app TikTok and challenge the ban imposed by the Centre on it.

Senior lawyer Rohtagi said he will not represent Chinese company in case against the Indian Government in the court.

On June 29, India banned the apps with Chinese links, including TikTok and UC Browser, saying that they were "engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order".

The government's move comes amid tensions with China in Eastern Ladakh.
