The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) hit out at the Narendra Modi government for not cooperating with the committee appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the use of Pegasus spyware. The party called it an admission of guilt.
“Such obduracy of non-cooperation by the government is a clear admission that this spyware was misused against those holding high Constitutional office, opposition leaders, journalists etc, which has a damaging impact on the quality of democracy and democratic rights of citizens,” the CPI(M) Polit Bureau said in a statement here.
The committee submitted to the apex court that the government had not shared the necessary information with it.
