The Congress on Monday launched a big attack on the Center amid allegations against the government of spying on the country’s big political figures to judges and journalists through the Israeli software Pegasus. Congress demanded the resignation of the country’s Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded an inquiry into the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Congress Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said during a press conference organized by Congress that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister themselves spy on leaders of opposition parties, journalists and ministers sitting in their own cabinet, the evidence of which has been found. Not only this, Rahul Gandhi has also been spied on. Kharge said that Amit Shah himself should resign from the post of Home Minister before this investigation is done and the role of PM Modi should be investigated. He said that if you want to walk through democracy, you want to run this country under the constitution that you are not fit to live in this place.
Here, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that spying on the Chief Election Commissioner, cabinet ministers, opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi and journalists and other personalities has been done if not treason? Surjewala said that when did the Indian government buy this Israeli Pegasus software and who had given permission and from where did the money come for it? He said that Home Minister Amit Shah himself is responsible for the internal security in the country. In such a situation, why should he not be sacked because all this is happening under his supervision. The Congress spokesperson further said that the role of Prime Minister Modi should not be investigated?
Here, BJP has completely rejected the reports of espionage scandal. Responding to the Congress’ attack on Pegasus, former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said- BJP strongly denies and condemns the baseless and baseless allegations of political justification made by Congress against BJP.
Ravi Shankar Prasad said that this is a new low for the party which ruled India for more than fifty years. Why did the story of Pegasus begin even before the monsoon season, he said. Was it a conscious start?
