The House Committee formed by Legislative Assembly Speaker Thammineni Seetharam to probe the alleged purchase of Pegasus spyware and phone tapping with its help during the Telugu Desam Party regime, met under the chairmanship of MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy at the Secretariat on Wednesday.
Addressing the media later, Mr. Karunakar Reddy said the gathering of information by the TDP government about political parties and individuals through surreptitious means was anti-democratic and had far-reaching security implications.
He pointed out that the findings of the People’s Pulse Survey was also misused, and expressed resolve to expose the culprits behind the whole conspiracy.
