“The Indonesian government has denied using unauthorized supervision.
This question raises, if Pegasus is only sold to the Government, which is the other government (China / Pakistan?) Using it to lurk the leading Indian citizens? Isn’t the authorities calling for independent investigations,” he said in a Tweet.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the Pegasus report showed “the government and government government were weak”.
“There is an atmosphere of fear among people.
PM and the Minister of Home Affairs must overcome this problem and clarify,” he said.
The head of Bihar Nitish Kumar called Snooping acts “dirty” and said that new technology was used to disturb and interfere with their work.
“I have said that new technology will definitely create problems.
We must see this aspect.
Such new technology is useful, but people also misuse them,” he said.
“All of this is dirty.
All of this is worthless.
Disturbing someone like this is not good.
All of this is garbage.
People abuse new technology.
People get into trouble because of this and their work is hampered,” he added.
Congress leader at Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury also hit the center of the alleged “telephone tapping” and said the government “using Pegasus to the people who talk against Modi.” “The Prime Minister said he promoted Indian digital but today we saw it was Indian supervision.
Nso said that his products were used exclusively by the government to fight crime and terror.
But they used Pegasus against the people who talked against Modi,” he said During the press direction.
Meanwhile, Ashwini Vaishnaw’s Information Technology Minister rejected the allegations at Lok Sabha, who said Pegasus’s report was an effort to slander Indian democracy.
Reports, appearing at night Monsoon Parliament sessions, looks more than just a coincidence.
Former Minister of IT and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad also questioned the report time.
“Is it planned to solve the ‘Pegasus’ story before the rainy season session to create a new atmosphere?” He asked.
“Not destroyed evidence that connects the Indian government or BJP to all of these Pegasus stories.
This is an effort to disturb the parliament, building an unfounded agenda in the country because Congress shrank, losing,” said Ravi Shankar Prasad.
