Quoting a media report, Sanjay Raut said the Israeli company NSO charged Rs 60 crore annually as license (fee) for the Pegasus software.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday asked who funded the alleged snooping of politicians and journalists by Pegasus and compared it with the Hiroshima bombing, saying while the attack on the Japanese city had resulted in the death of people, the spying by the Israeli software led to "death of freedom". "The modern technology has taken us back to slavery," Mr Raut said in his weekly column ''Rokhthok'' in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana.He said the Pegasus case is "no different from the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima". "People died in Hiroshima, while in the Pegasus case, it led to the death of freedom," he claimed. He said politicians, industrialists and social activists fear they are being spied upon, and even the judiciary and media are under the same pressure.More Related News
