Parlementer panels tend to question officials about the allegations of tapping Pegasus phones on July 28: Source

New Delhi: Parliamentary Panel headed by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is likely to question the top government officials, including from the home ministry, next week about allegations related to telephone tapping a lot using Pegasus Spyware, said the source on Wednesday.
An international media consortium claimed that several leaders of the Congress included Rahul Gandhi, two union ministers, Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee and around 40 journalists, including whose telephone numbers were registered as potential targets to detect the government which is usually supplied to the government agent.
The Indian government and Israeli supervision company NSO, who sell pegasus spyware throughout the world, has denied reports.
The 32-member parliamentary leader committee about the information and technology headed by Tharoor is scheduled to meet on July 28.
The agenda of the meeting is the ‘citizen and privacy data security’, according to notifications issued by the Secretariat of Lok Sabha.
The panel, which has the maximum member of the BJP in power, has been called officials from the Ministry of Electronics, Information and Technology and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The source in the panel said the problem of tapping Pegasus phones would definitely be raised in meetings and details will be sought from government officials.
This problem also rocked the process in parliament as an opposition party launched a spicy attack on the government.
Explaining the entire incident of surveillance as a matter of “national security concerns”, Tharoor has demanded an explanation from the government.
Speaking at Lok Sabha, Minister of Union and Communication Ashwaini Vaishnaw has rejected the report as “many” and said that the accusation leveled right in front of the Monsoon Parliament session was intended to rot on Indian democracy.
