All activities of Amnesty international should be banned in India: Assam CM

Guwahati, Jul 20 (UNI) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that the all activities

of the Amnesty International should be banned in India.

Referring to the Pegasus Project revelation he said that the issue is a well crafted conspiracy to defame Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the democracy in India.

" Amnesty can go to any extent to defame India's democratic fabric," Mr Sarma said.

He said that whenever the country is on path of progress or to reach milestone a conspiracy is

being hatched by some international agencies with active help from some insiders from within the country.

"India has vaccinated over 40 crore people and the parliament session was about to discuss how

to combat the third wave and the road ahead to revive the economy. But on the eve of the

Parliament session the Pegasus Project was revealed," he said.

Mr Sarma said that no FIR has been lodged neither had the phone sets of any of the people who

are said to be victimized have been sent for forensic check. Despite that the Congress is creating ruckus within the Parliament.

"In 2013, the UPA government agreed to have done phone tapping of over 5000 phones and email accounts. Congress' own integrity is being questioned and is blaming others for the same, " Sarma added.
