The Hindu
If the data of our Election Commission, Opposition leaders or Chief Ministers are held outside India, they are attacking national security,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on October 27 termed as a "big step" the to probe the alleged use of Israeli spyware for surveillance of certain people, and expressed confidence that truth would come out.
Asserting that alleged snooping using Pegasus is an "attempt to crush Indian democracy", Mr. Gandhi said it is a "big step that the Supreme Court has said that they are going to look into this matter. I am confident that we will get the truth out of this".
“Pegasus spyware was ordered either by Prime Minister or the Home Minister,” Mr. Gandhi said. “If the PM has done this, we would like to know why is the PM doing an illegal act,” he asked, adding that “Using of Pegasus is illegal in India. Prime Minister is not above the Law.”
