Mr Mittal wrote on Twitter, “Received a call today from Google mandating their payments to Indian developers in continued violation and disregard of CCI_India orders and Indian laws. Neo-colonialism at its worst! Hope That media, courts & @PMOIndia are taking note…Digital East India Company is here.”

The ‘Shark Tank India’ judge also replied to a Twitter user asking whether he was referring to the 30 per cent commission that the tech giant demands, he said, “among other things”.
Mr. Mittal told ink42 that he was warned that his company would have to comply with the new policy by April 26 or its apps would be removed from the Play Store.
тАЬWe will not give up the fight easilyтАж It is fundamentally illegal in our interpretation and interpretation of the law and as per the law of the land, they are asking us to do illegal activities. They (Google) are saying that I am your overlord…and you have to listen to my instructions, not the courts in your country, not the laws in your country, not the institutions in your country,” Mr Mittal said.
Mr. Mittal mentioned that he is using his strategies to reach out to the higher authorities and push the matter in the right direction.
