&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;IT Ministry officials told panel that 121 people affected by Pegasus spyware, sources said&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In 2019, during a probe by the Standing Committee on Information Technology headed by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, officials of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITy), according to sources, told the panel that 121 people were affected by the Pegasus spyware.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Kudankulam nuclear plant too had reported a cyber breach. The officials from the Department of Atomic Energy and the Kudankulam nuclear plant, the sources said, stated that the malware infection was only found in the administrative side of the plant&amp;rsquo;s operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Officials of both MEITy and the Ministry of Home Affairs though neither confirmed nor denied the involvement of the government in snooping using the Pegasus spyware, which is sold by Israeli technology firm, the NSO group.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government also did not clarify who these 121 individuals were or if they were contacted for a detailed probe into the issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On November 20, 2019, when the Standing Committee wanted to discuss the issue, the BJP members vehemently opposed it. They argued that it was illegal and beyond the purview of the panel to discuss the issue. The discussion could begin only after the agenda was voted upon. Only 25 of the panel&amp;rsquo;s 31 members attended the meeting, of which 12 voted against initiating a meeting, while 12 voted in favour. The final deciding vote was cast by Mr. Tharoor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Panel meets 17 persons&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a subsequent meeting, the panel met 17 persons, who had come together under a common platform &amp;ldquo;Pegasus Targeted Persons&amp;rdquo;. They included human rights activist Bela Bhatia, Marxist Dalit author Anand Teltumbde, Jagdalpur Legal Aid group member Shalini Gera, Chattisgarh-based civil rights activist Alok Shukla and human rights activist Jagdish Meshram among others.&lt;/p&gt;
