Congress members marched from the party office towards the Haryana Raj Bhavan
Haryana Congress workers and leaders on Thursday staged a protest march here against the alleged illegal use of Pegasus spyware on politicians, journalists and others. The protest was led by party affairs in-charge Vivek Bansal and Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Kumari Selja, who alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government should come clean on the spying charges by using Israeli spyware Pegasus. Congress members marched from the party office towards the Haryana Raj Bhavan here. They were, however, stopped by the police ahead of the Governor House. Mr. Bansal said that the snooping case had not only tarnished the image of India but has also violated the right to privacy, which is not a good sign for democracy. “The democracy, which the Congress party strengthened over the years is now facing many challenges. Democracy is being weakened by the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he said.More Related News
