Amid several Opposition leaders moving a privilege motion against Minister for Information Technology and Telecom Ashwini Vaishnaw over the Pegasus issue, the government has continued to maintain that no ‘unauthorised snooping’ was done and that the time-tested processes in the country are well-established to ensure that unauthorised surveillance does not occur.
When the controversy first broke out in July last, Mr. Vaishnaw told Parliament that if the issue was looked at “through the prism of logic, it clearly emerges that there is no substance whatsoever behind this sensationalism.”
