Pegasus is Such a Deep Secret That Even RTI Fails to Crack It! -Vinita Deshmukh

-MoneyLife.in

An application filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, seeking information about the purchase of the spyware `Pegasus’ from Israel-based NSO group and the availing of services from NSO is presently languishing as a second appeal at the Central Information Commission (CIC) for the past several months. It was filed with the CIC after the central public information officers (CPIOs) and the first appellate authorities (FAAs) of both the ministry of home affairs (MHA) and the national investigative agency (NIA) refused information. 
 
Being a journalist himself and concerned whether he could also be the victim of tapping, Saurav Das, the RTI applicant, states, “I have a genuine apprehension that being an investigative journalist and transparency activist, I’m also susceptible to such illegal snooping like many others. I am also susceptible to such gross human rights violation and breach of my fundamental right to privacy and thereby the right to life and liberty, guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, it becomes all the more important to establish transparency and seek the answers through RTIs from the competent authorities of MHA and NIA.’’
