Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Pegasus: Government has to Answer
 
The government had refused to give a categorical answer to the Supreme Court
whether any State agency used Pegasus spyware or not.
 
This evasive stand, itself, was an admission of their complicity in the
matter.  It was the same obduracy that saw the entire monsoon session of
Parliament getting stalled.  Since the Court has observed that national
security cannot be the cover to deny a concrete response, it is incumbent
upon the government to give a categorical reply.
 
The Supreme Court has taken an important step in constituting a committee of
experts under a retired Justice of the Supreme Court to investigate the
matter. The committee should invite opinions from concerned persons of the
public to present their views.  It should also invite foreign experts to
testify as this spyware has international ramifications.
 
The committee should complete the enquiry expeditiously.
