New Delhi: BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Sunday took to Twitter to claim that at least two international publications were likely to publish reports on the alleged hiring of an Israeli firm for snooping Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet colleagues, RSS leaders and journalists.
“Strong rumour that this evening IST, Washington Post & London Guardian are publishing a report exposing the hiring of an Israeli firm Pegasus, for tapping phones of Modi’s Cabinet Ministers, RSS leaders, SC judges, & journalists. If I get this confirmed I will publish the list,” Swamy tweeted.

When a Twitter asked if he too may have been a target of the alleged snooping, the outspoken BJP leader said, “I refer to rumours only when it emerges from truth. But truth today has to be documented. Hence in 2G, Aircel Maxis, NH etc ., I had enough documents to go to Court. If no documents then it will remain a rumour about the truth till I get it.”
Swamy said that he would move the Supreme Court if he found that he too was a victim of snooping.
Responding to Swamy’s tweet, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien wrote, “…and many members of the Opposition.”
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram tweeted, “A little birdie tells me that Pegasus is going to be explosive.”
Several journalists have taken to Twitter to claim that an expose on the hacking of phones was likely to be published on Sunday with many terming it to be capable of causing a political earthquake in the country.

Bihar: Over 150 children fall ill after consuming 'mid-day meal' in Saharsa
Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.
The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.
The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.
“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.
“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.
Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.
Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.
Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.
“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
