The party claims that its leaders were targetted by the Centre
Congress supporters gathered outside Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on July 22 to protest alleged snooping on their leaders by the Centre. Reports have claimed that Pegasus spyware, created by NSO Group of Israel, was used in India to target the phones of several prominent journalists and politicians. The spyware Pegasus is apparently sold to governments around the world by NSO Group, an Israeli company. On July 21, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar tweeted: “It’s not our phones; it’s our democracy which has been hacked! We have to reclaim the nation from this autocratic behaviour. Hacking into people’s phones and private lives, using that information for politics, at tax payers’ expense… these things don’t happen in democracies”.
