Pegasus Snooping Case

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday took exception to Congress member Gaurav Gogoi's allegation that government snoops on politicians with Israeli spyware Pegasus and asked him to give proof of the claim.

An Israeli investigation found “no indication” that police illegally hacked the mobile phones of dozens of public figures.

Companies like NSO can't sell their products to non-governmental actors, newly-appointed Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon said on Thursday, while terming as an "internal thing" for New Delhi the row over spyware Pegasus.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Thursday said he was perturbed by the statement in the Supreme Court order on the Pegasus snooping matter that many persons "politely declined" to be a member of the probe committee.

Freedom of press is an "important pillar" of democracy, the Supreme Court observed and said the court's task in the Pegasus matter assumes great significance with regard to the importance of protection of journalistic sources.

The Congress today welcomed the Supreme Court order of setting up an expert committee on the Pegasus spyware issue, and said it has negated alleged attempts of the government to evade and divert attention in the name of national security.

The Supreme Court  appointed a committee of experts to inquire into the alleged use of Israeli spyware Pegasus for surveillance of Indian citizens.

The Supreme Court will take a call today on whether there will be a court-monitored investigation into the explosive Pegasus snooping row that dominated headlines earlier this year.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to pronounce on Wednesday its verdict on a batch of pleas seeking independent probe into the Pegasus snooping matter.

The Supreme Court expects to set up a committee to inquire into the Pegasus snooping row, Chief Justice NV Ramana said Thursday morning, adding that interim orders would likely be issued next week.

The Editors' Guild of India has gone to the Supreme Court, seeking an investigation into the Pegasus spyware scandal. The Guild has asked the court to seek details from the government on the spyware contract and a list of people targetted.

In the middle of a deadlock and non-stop disruptions in parliament, over 14 opposition parties will meet tomorrow morning to decide on the option of a "mock parliament" outside.

Attacking the Congress which has been protesting in Parliament demanding a discussion on the Pegasus snooping allegations, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the party was "James Bond of spying" when in power.

Over 500 individuals and groups have written to Chief Justice of India N V Ramana, seeking immediate intervention of Supreme Court in the alleged Pegasus snooping matter

Reports on Israeli Pegasus spyware allegedly being used to spy on opposition leaders, two union ministers and 40 journalists among others should be investigated by a sitting or former judge, senior journalists have said in a petition to Supreme Court
