The Opposition parties are likely to bring up various topics, including the new farm laws, the Pegasus hack media report, fuel price hike and the coronavirus pandemic, as the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins on Monday, reported NDTV. The proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will start at 11 am.
Communist Party of India Rajya Sabha MP Binoy Viswam has moved a suspension of business notice in the House on the revelations of the Pegasus spyware media reports.
On Sunday, The Wire reported that phone numbers of Indian ministers, Opposition politicians, journalists, activists among others are listed on a leaked database that reportedly reflects potential targets of illegal cyber surveillance using the Pegasus hacking software.
Forensic tests revealed that at least some of those named on the list had their phones hacked by the spyware that Israeli company NSO Group has said it only sells to “vetted governments”.
Congress MP Manish Tewari said that he has listed a Bill called the Intelligence Services (Powers and Regulation), Bill 2011, “to check unauthorised surveillance by intelligence agencies”. He added that he had introduced the proposed legislation in 2011.
