New Delhi, July 23

Responding to media queries regarding India’s use of Israeli spyware – Pegasus to allegedly hack the phone of Pakistan PM Imran Khan, the Pakistan Foreign Office expressed serious concern.

“We condemn in strongest possible terms India’s state-sponsored, continuing and widespread surveillance and spying operations in clear breach of global norms of responsible state behavior,’’ said the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson.

The Pakistan MFA said the world has seen the true face of the so-called Indian “democracy” when the reports of EU Disinfo Lab, Indian Chronicle, had surfaced earlier last year.

In view of the gravity of these reports, Islamabad has called on the relevant UN bodies to thoroughly investigate the matter, bring the facts to light, and hold the Indian perpetrators to account. “We are closely following these revelations and will bring the Indian abuses to the attention of appropriate global platforms,’’ it cautioned.
