'Wait now', why Elon Musk said on Starlink controversy - Thank you Rahul

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has posted on X. On this, now the Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has said that Alan, welcome to India. Wait a little bit to know about that other person. Now after Rahul's response, Elon Musk thanked him and said that it is really very worrying.

Here Musk posted, to which Rahul Gandhi reacted, wrote that is Ambani the boss of India. This reaction of Elon Musk has come on Dr. Anirudh's post. In this, Anirudh has said that is the government saving crony capitalism by leaving Indian citizens?

Thank you, Rahul. This is indeed troubling.

On the same post, Musk has written that Starlink has a license for 165 countries. Why are they not getting a license in India despite fulfilling every necessary guideline for five years? Is Ambani the real boss of India?

On this whole matter... Minister of State for Communications Chandrashekhar Pemmasani said the matter was pending with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the security clearance was not a matter related to any one company.

Indian government rejects allegations

Musk's post has come at a time when the Indian government has rejected his allegations. The government has said that the rules for satellite communication in the country are equally applicable to all companies. Starlink is not being discriminated against in any way.

The Government of India has said in its statement that India's satellite communication regulatory framework is fair and non-discriminatory. The licenses of three companies have been canceled. All three did not meet the requirements related to the government's guidelines.

At present, the checking of these companies is going on at the security level. All three are at the same regulatory stage. After the completion of the process related to security, the government will start the process of the next phase.  

When did the whole controversy start?
