NEW DELHI: A day after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury served a notice for breach of privilege against IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for allegedly misleading Parliament over the Pegasus issue, more MPs belonging to Congress, Left and Trinamool followed suit on Monday, setting the stage for another confrontation in the two Houses after the presentation of the Union Budget on Tuesday.
“The government is snatching people’s freedom by spying on opposition leaders, judiciary, journalists and bureaucrats,” said Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge after submitting notices for a privilege motion against Vaishnaw along with Congress colleague KC Venugopal, Left MPs Binoy Viswam and V Sivadasan and Trinamool’s Saugata Roy.
