Ahead of the commencement of Lok Sabha at 11 am on Thursday after being adjourned for the day on Wednesday, Congress MP Manish Tewari today gave adjournment motion notice in the Lower House over the ''Pegasus Project'' issue.
Mr Tewari in his notice said, "Reports have pointed out that the Government of India has procured the surveillance tool Pegasus developed by Israeli company NSO Group for surveillance of Journalists, Civil Society Activists, Politicians and Supreme Court Judges. Since the NSO group''s policy is that clients are confined to "vetted governments" only it suggests that the spyware was used by the Government of India and not any other private body.
He further stated that reputed agencies like Citizen Lab have found traces of the spyware on some of the devices that were attacked.
The Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman started the House proceedings with a congratulatory message for the Indian men's hockey team and boxer Lovlina Borgohain for winning bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
