Pegasus: Ravi Shankar Prasad says no evidence of phone theft

New Delhi: Former IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday lashed out at the Center for allegedly leaking phones using Pegasus spyware. He said the opposition just wanted to protest in the assembly and leave. His answer was at a press conference.

He asked if there was prima facie evidence that the center had leaked the phone. The telephone number used by Arun Mishra, a retired Supreme Court judge and national president for human rights, was also reportedly on the list. But Arun Mishra said the number was delivered in 2014. Ravi Shankar Prasad’s question points to this.

During the UPA rule, the government denied allegations of corruption in the 2G spectrum scam and coal mining. But the Supreme Court revoked the 2G spectrum permit. Ravi Shankar Prasad said that a loss of 130 million rupees has been incurred due to the continued disruption of the church.
