Rahul Gandhi Accuses PM Modi Of Phone Tapping, Renews Public Debate Challenge
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of tapping his phone and once again challenged him to a public debate on foreign influence and national interest.
During an interactive ‘Ask Me’ session on Instagram, Gandhi was asked about the evidence behind his claims of foreign influence.
Holding up his phone, he said the Prime Minister knew about the evidence because “he taps my phone”.
However, Gandhi did not provide any technical evidence to support the phone-tapping allegation.
He also repeated his challenge to Modi for a face-to-face debate, saying he was ready to meet “any time, any place”.
Rahul Gandhi said the discussion would reveal who was genuinely concerned about national interest and who was acting against it.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has previously responded to Gandhi’s debate challenges by saying that Parliament is the appropriate place for such discussions. He also indicated that the government was ready for a special session of Parliament if a formal request was made.
The government has previously denied allegations of surveillance. The reports covering Gandhi’s November 13 remarks did not mention any reference to the number 14.
