Editors Guild Calls For Investigation Into NYT Report On Use Of Pegasus Spyware Against Indian Citizens

New Delhi: The Editors Guild of India has called for an investigation into the alleged use of spyware against Indian citizens.

It has written to the probe panel instituted by the Supreme Court, asking it to inquire into the claims by the recent New York Times report on Pegasus. 

It said it was deeply concerned at the claims made in the NYT report that the Indian and Israeli governments “had agreed on the sale of a package of sophisticated weapons and intelligence gear worth roughly $2 billion — with Pegasus and a missile system as the centrepieces.

“The Guild has written to the committee headed by Justice Raveendran, which was instituted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India to inquire into and investigate the use of Pegasus spyware against Indian citizens, to take cognisance of the claims made in these reports, and seek responses on affidavit from the Government of India, the CAG, as well as the Secretaries of all the possible ministries that may have been involved with claimed purchase of the spyware,” the Guild stated in a press statement.
