SC only hope, must probe Pegasus row, says Mamata

Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Wednesday urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the Pegasus row and order a probe into it. “Only judiciary can save the country,” she said. She also urged Opposition parties to unite in order to take on BJP in the 2024 LS polls.
Speaking at a virtual rally on ‘Martyrs’ Day’, Mamata said, “We have to unite for our people, for our country”. Present at the Constitution Club in Delhi, where her speech was beamed live, were top leaders from most opposition parties. Giant screens were also put up across UP, Gujarat, Assam and Tamil Nadu.
Meanwhile, BJP questioned Mamata’s decision to celebrate ‘Khela Diwas’ on August 16, saying Muslim League launched its Direct Action Day this day in 1946.
