"BJP Suffering From Fear Psychosis": Trinamool Slams Centre Over Spyware Reports
NDTV
An international media consortium reported Sunday that over 300 mobile numbers, including journalists and opposition leaders, could have been targeted for hacking through an Israeli spyware.
The Trinamool Congress Monday came down heavily on the BJP government at the Centre over allegations of snooping against party leader Abhishek Banerjee and poll strategist Prashant Kishor, terming it as "an attack on democracy". It said the revelations prove that the saffron party is suffering from "fear-psychosis" over rise of Abhishek Banerjee as a national leader. "This is a black day for democracy. This is shameful that the Union government is using spyware to snoop on the phones of politicians, journalists, activists. Even youth leaders like Abhishek Banerjee are also not spared; our poll strategist Prashant Kishor's phone was hacked. "This only reflects the authoritarian mindset of this government. The union government should come clean on it. We condemn it," senior Trinamool leader Sougata Roy told PTI.
