Central government will form a committee to investigate allegations of espionage

Pegasus controversy

The Central Government has informed the Supreme Court that a committee will be set up to investigate allegations of spying from Pegasus spyware, which broke into mobile phones. The government has given this information while hearing public interest litigations filed in the Supreme Court regarding this. Public interest litigations have also demanded a SIT probe under the supervision of the Supreme Court. Let us tell you that many different organizations had approached the Supreme Court regarding this.

Let us tell you that on Monday, the Pegasus case was heard in the Supreme Court. In the court, the central government denied all the allegations against him. The Center also today filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court on the Pegasus case. It was of two pages. The Center said that there was no espionage or illegal surveillance on their part.

In the affidavit, the government has vehemently denied all the allegations leveled by senior journalist N Ram and other petitioners. In his petition, there were allegations that this military software was used by the government to spy on journalists, politicians, activists, bureaucrats and people associated with the judiciary.

Earlier, the matter was heard on August 10. The Supreme Court had then objected to the parallel proceedings and debates on social media by some of the petitioners requesting an independent inquiry and said that there should be discipline and faith in the justice system.
