Congress MP KC Venugopal has accused the Modi government of attempting to hack his phone using "malicious spyware", which Apple alerted him about. Venugopal condemned the government's actions as criminal and unconstitutional, claiming they are targeting political opponents. He vowed to oppose this breach of privacy and stated that the people have rejected such attacks on the Constitution. This comes as Apple issued a warning about a potential new spyware attack similar to 'Pegasus' targeting iPhone users in 98 countries, including India. Last year, opposition leaders received similar warnings and accused the Centre of state-sponsored surveillance using Pegasus. The government denied the allegations but pledged to investigate. Venugopal's allegations highlight the ongoing concerns about privacy and surveillance in India and raise questions about potential government interference in political affairs.
