ITANAGAR: The State Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) discarded allegations levelled by the Congress and other Opposition parties, thereby disrupting the ongoing Monsoon Parliament Session, alleging the BJP government at the Center for using Pegasus spyware to hack into political leaders.
Pegasus is spyware developed by Israeli cyber farm firm NSO group that can covertly install in any of the iOS and Android mobile and exploit it. Addressing the media persons at the press club here on Wednesday, State BJP spokesperson Dr Mohesh Chai said that the allegations as 'baseless' and 'false' without any iota of truth. He said that the Opposition party cooked up the Pegasus spyware story in a desperate attempt to disrupt the Monsoon Session of the Parliament and derail development activities.
Justifying his claims, Chai said that some important bills for the welfare of the backward people of the country are to be passed in the Parliament session and new Cabinet Ministers were to be introduced during the session by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"PM Narendra Modi had earlier given a clarion call to the Opposition parties that the present government at the Centre is ready to debate any issue related to development in the upcoming Parliament session citing it has nothing to hide," Chai said.
Chai regretted that despite PM's request, the Congress party cooked up the Pegasus story that too without any evidence to substantiate its claims and creating unnecessary obstacles during the Parliament session displaying utter disregard to the sanctity of Parliament.
"The Opposition party is levelling baseless allegations on the NDA government lacking any concrete evidence and trying to mislead the nation. The million-dollar question is why the Opposition party brought this issue just a day before the Parliament session begins," he added.
