When we look at this issue through the prism of logic, it clearly emerges that there is no substance, whatsoever, behind this sensationalism: Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, in Lok Sabha, on 'Pegasus Project' media report.
19 July 2021, 16:14 PM
Requests for lawful interceptions of electronic communication are made as per relevant rules under provisions of Sec 5(2) of Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 & Sec 69 of Information Technology Act 2000. Each case of interception is approved by the competent authority: Ashwini Vaishnaw
19 July 2021, 16:13 PM
Any form of illegal surveillance isn't possible with checks & balances in our laws &robust institutions. In India, there's a well-established procedure through which lawful interception of electronic communication is carried out for purpose of national security: IT Minister in LS
19 July 2021, 16:13 PM
Without subjecting the phone to this technical analysis, it's not possible to conclusively state whether it witnessed an attempted hack or successfully compromised. The report itself clarifies that presence of a number in list doesn't amount to snooping: Ashwini Vaishnaw in LS.
19 July 2021, 16:12 PM
The allegation is that individuals linked to these phone numbers for being spied upon. However, the report says that the presence of a phone number in the data does not reveal whether was a device was infected by Pegasus or subjected to an attempted hack: IT Min Ashwini Vaishnaw.
19 July 2021, 16:11 PM
We can't fault those who haven't read the news story in detail & I request all members of House to examine issues on facts & logic. The basis of this report is that there is a consortium that has got access to a leaked database of 50,000 phone numbers: IT Min on 'Pegasus Project'.
19 July 2021, 16:10 PM
In the past, similar claims were made regarding use of Pegasus on WhatsApp. Those reports had no factual basis & were denied by all parties. Press reports of 18 July '21 also appear to be an attempt to malign Indian democracy & its well-established institutions: Ashwini Vaishnaw.
19 July 2021, 15:56 PM
A highly sensational story was published by a web portal last night. Many over-the-top allegations made around this story. The press reports appeared a day before monsoon session of Parliament. This can't be a coincidence: Ashwini Vaishnaw, IT Minister, in LS on 'Pegasus Project'.
