It begs the question why the govt of the day so scared off when they believe they have done nothing wrong.

My views are different on this I can recall Barack Obama's famous quote that you can't have 100 percent privacy and 100 percent security. If Indian government has done this then they have a right to do . All major players in world like USA, Russia, China do this so why can't India. Mumbai 26/11 blast is an example, do you think this kind of attack is possible without local involvement.

Let's throw away the constitution!!!
Ppl should understand we are not discussing privacy here. What you should understand is the illegal use of tools to spy on citizens to score poltical victory and retain power.

Those countries don't do surveillance on political rivals and inconvenient people.. They do it for terrorism etc and even then there is very high scruitiny and paperwork. Your logic is how elected officials become dictators.

OMG you are relating 26/11 with snooping on opposition, judiciary, activists etc.
Your argument is completely absurd.

If something like this was done by opposition the BJP and RSS folks would have been rolling on the streets like they did to protest against the emergency.

There is a legal way of spying in our country, which atleast have some degree of accountability.

Hmm. So your source for this info like thedailyguardian.com is also fictional. Good to know.

I guess you completed MBBS by watching Doogie Howser and post grad by watching Dr. House.

Guys, Don't engage with him. His arguments genuinely doesn't make any sense with the topic being discussed.
He's the same person who blamed docs for causing scarcity of medicines during wave 2. Instead of asking questions to govt he was questioning the docs here for suggesting those medicines.
