Modi Regime Spies on even Two of Its Own Cabinet Ministers: Death of Outrage!?

[Sukla Sen]

Is this explosive!!!?

The monsoon session of the Parliament has commenced today.

Just take note of the grand company that Modified India keeps at its very head: Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Morocco, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates!

As it appears, "40 journalists, 3 top Opposition leaders, 1 Constitutional authority, 1 SC judge, many businessmen & 2 of Modi govt's own Cabinet ministers" have been (and are being) spied upon.

<<New Delhi: A leaked database of thousands of telephone numbers believed to have been listed by multiple government clients of an Israeli surveillance technology firm includes over 300 verified Indian mobile telephone numbers, including those used by ministers, opposition leaders, journalists, the legal community, businessmen, government officials, scientists, rights activists and others, according to an investigation by The Wire and 16 media partners.

Forensic tests conducted as part of this project on a small cross-section of phones associated with these numbers revealed clear signs of targeting by Pegasus spyware in 37 phones, of which 10 are Indian. Without subjecting a phone to this technical analysis, it is not possible to conclusively state whether it witnessed an attack attempt or was successfully compromised.

NSO Group, the Israeli company which sells Pegasus worldwide, says its clients, are confined to “vetted governments”, believed to number 36. Though it refuses to identify its customers, this claim rules out the possibility that any private entity in India or abroad is responsible for the infections which The Wire and its partners have confirmed [emphasis added].

The leaked database was accessed by Paris-based media nonprofit Forbidden Stories and Amnesty International and shared with The Wire, Le Monde, The Guardian, Washington Post Die Zeit, Suddeutsche Zeitung and 10 other Mexican, Arab and European news organisations as part of a collaborative investigation called the ‘Pegasus Project'.

...

A majority of the numbers identified in the list were geographically concentrated in 10 country clusters: India, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Morocco, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.>>

For a starter, the proceedings in both the houses of the parliament got adjourned till tomorrow morning.

First the upper house, then the lower house followed suit.

(Ref.: <https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/parliament-live-updates-monsoon-session-begins-today-covid-19-pandemic-price-rise-up-for-discussion-101626655481608.html>.

The demand for an immediate JPC probe, at the very minimum, must be forcefully raised - just not within the precincts of the Parliament.

The demand must reverberate all across the land.

Today's adjournments at least hold out some hope.

The (multiple) reistances against the evil regime need be waged on numerous terrains on different issues with leading players varying from issue to issue.

Even if they all don't converge, the success of one would, for sure, reinforce others.

Let this latest scam be turned into one major rallying point.

Let's keep doing our bits.
