Pegasus scandal part of larger architecture to consolidate authoritarian Hindu regime: CPI(M)

The CPI(M) alleged on Thursday that the Pegasus spyware scandal is not just a case of violation of privacy and illegal, but is a part of the “larger architecture” to consolidate the “authoritarian Hindu regime”, “intimidate” and even “blackmail” the functionaries of constitutional bodies. In the latest editorial of its mouthpiece, Peoples Democracy, the Left party said the bigger picture of the issue must not be obscured.

“The Pegasus usage is part of the larger authoritarian architecture that has been built up over the past seven years. The message is that any means can be adopted to establish and consolidate the authoritarian Hindutva regime.
