Notably, the Congress had alleged that Priyanka Gandhi was one of the party’s leaders whose phones were under surveillance using the Israeli spyware Pegasus.
Priyanka Gandhi said, “The government is tapping phones instead of focusing on working for the people. They are just busy listening to phone calls of the Opposition leaders.”
Meanwhile, according to reports, the union ministry of electronics and information technology has taken cognizance of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi’s allegations of phone tapping.
Probe into the allegations is likely to begin soon.
