Amit Shah Must Step Down: Rahul Gandhi On Pegasus Row

Accusing the Modi government of using Pegasus spyware as a weapon against opponents, Rahul Gandhi today alleged that all his phones were tapped.

He also demanded a court-monitored inquiry, which was rejected by the government.

The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah used the Pegasus spyware against India and its institutions. 

Pegasus is a weapon that is supposed to be used against terrorists. The PM & HM have used this weapon against the Indian state & against our institutions. The only word for this is treason. This has to be investigated & the HM has to resign said Rahul Gandhi

Rahul said that his phone was also tapped and demanded a judicial investigation into the entire episode. He also sought Home Minister Amit Shah’s ouster. 

“PM Modi, Amit Shah used Pegasus as weapon against India and its institutions; this is treason,” Gandhi said.
