Shiv Sena Compares Pegasus Snooping With Hiroshima Bombing, Asks Who Paid For It

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday compared the alleged snooping of politicians and journalists by Pegasus with the Hiroshima bombing and asked who funded it.

In his weekly column 'Rokhthok' in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana, Raut said while the attack on the Japanese city had resulted in death of people, the spying by the Israeli software led to "death of freedom".

He said the Pegasus case is "no different from the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima". "People died in Hiroshima, while in the Pegasus case, it led to the death of freedom," he claimed.
