We want to discuss Pegasus: Kharge on parl logjam

July 29, 2021 10:11

LoP in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on what's ahead in Parliament today: "We only want discussion on Pegasus issue. For that, PM Modi and Home Minister's presence is necessary. This (snooping) is treason. If they let us discuss the issue, the House will function properly. We've also called an all-party meet today," Kharge said.

Since the Monsoon session began, Opposition leaders have been targeting the Centre over reports that Pegasus spyware was used to hack the phones of several prominent journalists and politicians in India. The Centre has consistently dismissed the issue.

A consortium of 17 global media outlets had published reports stating that Pegasus, a spyware developed by Israeli firm NSO, was used to hack into the phones of thousands of people across the world. The list of potential targets includes the names of around 300 Indians, including Opposition leaders, journalists and government officials. The Israeli firm behind Pegasus has always maintained that the software is only sold to governments and not to private players.
