Congress leader Rahul G♔andhi on Thursday took a jibe at Prime Minister Nꦜarendra Modi saying his phone is being tapped.
Rahul Gandhi while interacting 𒁃with the audience in US on the issue of Pegasus spyware and similar technologies, said he is not worried about it.
He said he knows his phone is being tapped.
"Hello! Mr Modi,” Rahul Gandhi said on his iPho🉐ne.
"I presume my iPhone is being tapped. You need to establish rules with regard to privacy of data information as a nation and a🅰lso as an individual," he said.
"If a nation state decides that they want to ta𓆉p your phone, no one can stop you. This is my sense," he said.
He added: "If the nation is interested🐟 in tapping phone, then this is not a battle worth fighting. I think whatever I do and work, is available to the government.”
