PM Doesn’t Tap Phones: Sam Pitroda Defends Modi Amid Rahul Gandhi’s Surveillance Allegations
Congress leader Sam Pitroda has said he does not believe Prime Minister Narendra Modi taps phones, distancing himself from Rahul Gandhi’s recent allegations against the PM.
Pitroda said, “PM doesn’t do that. PM doesn’t take a screwdriver and get on a computer.”
However, he claimed that his own phone was tapped, his laptop attacked and bank accounts monitored. He said cybersecurity experts had examined his devices and warned him about possible surveillance, but declined to identify those responsible.
His remarks came after Rahul Gandhi accused the central government of surveilling him and alleged that PM Modi was tapping his phone. Gandhi also challenged the Prime Minister to an open debate, claiming his phone contained evidence of the PM being influenced by foreign powers.
The BJP rejected Gandhi’s allegations. Former Union Minister and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar dismissed the claims, saying nobody was interested in tapping Gandhi’s phone and accusing him of repeatedly spreading falsehoods.
