The ruling party has dismissed these allegations as baseless and politically motivated, asserting that the government does not engage in such practices. They argue that the claims are part of a smear campaign aimed at discrediting Prime Minister Modi ahead of upcoming elections.
This incident has sparked a heated debate about digital privacy and the ethical use of surveillance technology in India. It raises serious questions about the balance between national security and individual privacy rights.
