Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Tuesday said the MVA government here must set up an inquiry commission under a retired judge to probe the Pegasus spyware issue on the lines of the decision taken by the Mamata Banerjee dispensation in West Bengal.
An international media consortium has reported that over 300 verified Indian mobile phone numbers were on a list of potential targets for surveillance using Israeli firm NSO`s Pegasus spyware. "Though the Union government has not given any order on probing the Pegasus issue, the Maharashtra government should set up a commission of inquiry under a retired judge similar to the one in West Bengal," he said.
