TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has hit out at the Centre over the ‘snooping’ controversy and demanded that the government ask Israel how its technology firm listened to WhatsApp conversations of Indians.
Addressing a public meeting here late Saturday, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president said the Israeli Ambassador should be summoned and asked about the matter.”Now it has been learnt that an Israeli company listened to WhatsApp conversations.
The Israeli Ambassador should be summoned and asked as to why their company listened to our phones? But, you (government) are not asking the Israeli company, instead you are questioning WhatsApp. Why are you afraid to ask,” Owaisi said.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp on Thursday said Indian journalists and human rights activists were among those globally spied upon by unnamed entities using an Israeli spyware Pegasus, leading to a furore over breach of citizens’ privacy. WhatsApp said it was suing NSO Group, an Israeli surveillance firm, that is reportedly behind the technology that helped unnamed entities’ spies hack into phones of roughly 1,400 users.
