New Delhi: The government has not made any unauthorized interception, Union IT and Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in Rajya Sabha while in his reply to a calling attention motion on the snooping row involving Pegasus spyware.

On the question from Congress leader Digvijaya Singh whether the government or any of its agencies had entered into any deal with Israeli firm NSO group that developed the controversial spyware, the Minister said there was a proper operating procedure for that.
