The Supreme Court on Pegasus: Two Short Steps Away From the Truth  Siddharth Vaedarajan https://thewire.in/law/pegasus-spyware-supreme-court-truth Insist on individual affidavits from the home minister, the NSA and other key officials, and allow a review by reputed organisations of the technical committee’s findings.

what is striking about the technical committee’s report – or rather the broad summary the CJI provided in court – is the tentativeness of its core finding. We need to remind ourselves that the intelligence agencies of France and Belgium, as well as the European Commission and a United Kingdom court have all examined phones which were first reported by the Pegasus Project media consortium as infected – and confirmed those findings. Why India alone should be an outlier is not clear.
