Whatsapp surveillance: Govt must be held accountable for allowing secret spying on Indians, says Congress

The Congress on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the central government and said it should be held accountable for allowing “secret spying on Indians”. It further said that the right to privacy was blatantly attacked under the current dispensation. “Right to privacy is being blatantly attacked under the BJP rule. When they failed to pass laws to snoop on citizens, the next step was to allow secret spying on Indians. The government must be held accountable for its actions,” the Congress said in a tweet.
