Aurangabad/Mumbai, Jul 19 (UNI) Maharashtra Congress General Secretary Sachin Sawant on Monday said the issue of phone tapping at national level through Pegasus software and the probable role of Modi government in it is very serious in the country.
All BJP-ruled state governments may have been instructed to work on this procedure. Phone tapping during the Fadnavis government in Maharashtra has the same mentality and intentions, he remarked.
Did snooping and phone tapping take place in Maharashtra using Pegasus software during Fadnavis government, he questioned via tweet.
Mr Sawant, also Congress spokesman, appealed the state government to probe the Pegasus scandal.
In Maharashtra, a case of unauthorized phone tapping through Rashmi Shukla has already come to light during the Fadnavis government. But there were also reports of the use of Pegasus software
Was any IPS officer sitting in the Mantralaya was working on this, he averred.
With whose permission did the DGIPR officers go to Israel? What training did they receive? Did they come back and report? Is it related to Pegasus? It is surprising and suspicious that such tours have taken place during the election period, he highlighted.
How many times did some officers go to Israel? Were there any government meetings with NSO? What was the correspondence with NSO? It should all come to the fore. Earlier, such an inquiry was demanded by Congress senior leader Digvijay Singh as well, the tweet read.
