Pakistan strongly condemns Indian spying operations thru Israeli Pegasus

He was responding to media queries regarding India’s use of Israeli spyware – Pegasus – to hack the phones and computers of journalists, judges, diplomats, government officials, rights activists, and global leaders including Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The FO spokesman termed it in clear breach of global norms of responsible state behaviour.

He said we have noted with serious concern recent international media reports exposing Indian government’s organized spying operations against its own citizens, foreigners as well as Prime Minister Imran Khan, using an Israeli origin spyware.

Furthermore, he said keeping a clandestine tab on dissenting voices is a long-standing textbook ploy of the RSS-BJP regime.

The regime used this to commit human rights atrocities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and peddle disinformation against Pakistan.

The spokesperson said the world has seen the true face of the so-called Indian “democracy” when the reports of EU Disinfo Lab, Indian Chronicle, surfaced earlier last year.

He further said we are closely following these revelations and will bring the Indian abuses to the attention of appropriate global platforms.

Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said in view of the gravity of these reports, we call on the relevant UN bodies to thoroughly investigate the matter, bring the facts to light.

Moreover, he urged them to hold the Indian perpetrators to account.
