SC Pegasus ruling vindicates Opposition stand: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the Supreme Court’s decision in the Pegasus case vindicated the Opposition’s stand, iterating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role in illegal snooping needed to be probed.

Addressing the media after the Supreme Court formed a committee to look into the matter despite stubborn resistance from the Modi government, Rahul said: “We welcome the order. This is a big step. Pegasus is an attempt to crush Indian democracy. It is an attempt to make sure that the vibrancy of democracy, the conversation that takes place in democracy, is crushed and people are controlled.”
