Hyderabad: MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi lambasted the BJP over the Whatsapp spyware fiasco and demanded that the Modi government summon Israel’s ambassador and ask him about the snooping instead of questioning the management of the social messaging platform.
Mr Owaisi said even cellphones were not secure. “Devils are hearing our conversations on Whatsapp. We have learnt that an Israeli company has sold a technology to the Israeli government, which can get access to any cell phone,” he said.
“Your conversation taking place in homes can be heard through phones.”
He was speaking at a meeting to felicitate MIM MLAs who won Assembly seats in Maharashtra and Bihar.
“Our government should summon the Israeli ambassador and lodge our protest, expressing displeasure over access gained to Indian phones,” Mr Owaisi said.
“Our nuclear plants are being attacked by malware, but there is a stillness in the country,” he said.
