I don't know how much we can trust this news, since the Indian government is planning to make ownership of cryptocurrency a criminal offense. That means that Jack Dorsey can be jailed, if he travels to India. The African governments are not that retarded, but recently the Nigerian government issued a banking ban on Bitcoin and now bank accounts can't be used to trade in cryptocurrency.
Jack Dorsey is a billionaire and hence he will be having a team of lawyers to take care of him if any government tries to intimidate and more over he is an American citizen and India will not mess with any entrepreneur billionaires from US as the recuperation of the damage created if they take any actions will be really big.
Will see whether the bill will be passed on banning it, i am still expecting regulations to make the market safer and not a complete ban.
The intention from the government is clear. Three days ago (on 11th February), the finance minister (Nirmala Sitaraman) made it clear that the government won't allow any cryptocurrency that is not controlled by the central bank to be used within the country. So rather than regulation, they are aiming for full prohibition. Under these circumstances, I don't know how the government will react if Jack Dorsey announces that he want to promote Bitcoin development in India.
On a separate note, Jack is already having a lot of issues with the Indian government. The government officials recently threatened Twitter India to ban more than a thousand Twitter accounts, that are critical of the government. When there was reluctance form the part of the Twitter India team, they were threatened with massive financial penalties and the management was threatened with imprisonment.
