Only 15% Indians know about Pegasus. But once aware, their distrust of Modi govt grows -Rakesh Jain

Prashnam's 12-state survey shows a general lack of awareness. But among those who know what Pegasus is, a greater percentage say Modi government snoops on ordinary citizens.

The Pegasus scandal has rocked India’s Parliament. The issue of Israeli spyware allegedly used for snooping on thousands of private citizens has been making headlines for the past two weeks across the world and in some sections of the Indian media. Reports continue to appear in the media regarding Pegasus and its owner, the NSO Group of Israel.

The Opposition in India has demanded answers from the Narendra Modi government and taken a tough stand of “Pegasus first or none” in the monsoon session of Parliament. It is well understood that Pegasus is a technical issue that involves snooping on over 300 Indian citizens, including journalists, politicians and activists, and not as widespread a mass issue such as Covid mismanagement or farmers’ protests against the new agricultural laws. Nevertheless, it is still interesting to measure awareness and understanding of the Pegasus issue among India’s general population.
