In December 2019, Swadeshi Jagran Manch’s national co-convener Ashwini Mahajan wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for data localisation and digital nationalism as “the need of the hour”. He also encouraged support and promotion of Indian alternatives of payment gateways, social media platforms, and service aggregators.
