I don’t even know how to react to this news. They did not leave India when India demanded an open access the the BB server. But how do the govt think that they can improve security situation by getting an access to the server ?

They did not leave India when India demanded an open access the the BB server.

They only gave India access to the BBM messages. They didn’t allow India to access the encrypted enterprise emails sent through BB devices. Pakistan’s demands go further than India’s , Pakistan wants to access the emails too.
