New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the request of a senior journalist R RAM looking for an independent probe into Snooping Pegasus Material.
Pitching for hearing urges, advice n RAM Kapil Sibal said that Pegasus’s problems made waves in India and throughout the world.
“Civil liberties of citizens, politicians belonging to the opposition party, journalists, court staff have been put under supervision,” said Sibal to SC bench led by CJI N V Ramana.
CJI N V Ramana said that SC would hear the problem next week.
However, Sibal said it should not be on Tuesday or Wednesday because he was busy with other things.
Commenting on this, Cji said he would defend it when registering a problem to hear.
The names of several opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi, activists, and 40 Indian journalists appear in a potential target list that leaked for supervision by unknown institutions using Pegasus Spyware, according to reports published in the wire.
The government has denied all accusations of opposition in this matter.
