AGARTALA, July 30 (TIWN): Tripura Congress President Pijush Biswas on Friday slammed the BJP government at the Centre for its alleged involvement in the surveillance of prominent politicians, journalists and activists using the Pegasus spyware of the Israeli company, NSO Group.

"Such a scandal exposed how the BJP government undermined national security and sabotaged the fundamental right to privacy", Biswas said.

Blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for this, Yuva Congress activists raised slogans.

However, police arrested all the agitating Congress activists and stopped their rally to proceed.
