'Adani Is Number 1': Rahul Gandhi Attacks Centre After Multiple MPs Claim 'State-Sponsored Attackers' Alerts From Apple

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that multiple opposition party leaders received "state-sponsored attackers targeting your device" alert on their iPhones and this was done as soon as "Adani" was touched.

"Earlier, I used to think number 1 is PM Modi, number 2 is Adani and number 3 is Amit Shah, but this wrong, number 1 is Adani, number 2 is PM Modi and number 3 is Amit Shah. We have understood the politics of India and now Adani ji cannot escape. Distraction politics is going on...," he added.

Gandhi was addressing a press conference after several leaders of the opposition parties received an alert on their Apple iPhone devices that "state-sponsored attackers" could be targeting their devices.

Addressing the issue, Gandhi said multiple leaders alleged their Apple devices were being "hacked".

He added that the "government" might engage in extensive phone surveillance and even seize his phone if they wish, but he maintained, "I am not scared."
