The minister of IT and Communication, Ashwini Vaishnaw while talking about the much hyped Pegasus Snoopgate in the Rajya Sabha said, ” A highly sensational story was published by a web portal on July 18. Many over-the-top allegations made around this story. The press reports appeared a day before monsoon session of Parliament. This can’t be a coincidence.”
While he was reading, Trinamool MP Shantanu Sen was seen on national television snatching the report right out of the Minister’s hand and shredding it and throwing it in the air.
After several disruptions, the house was adjourned for the day.
