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.
"As soon as Adani is touched, intelligence agencies, snooping are deployed," Gandhi said, adding that party leaders like K C Venugopal, Pawan Khera, and several other opposition leaders got the alert.
"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".
"A number of people in my office have got this message... In Congress, KC Venugopal ji, Supriya, Pawan Khera have got it too...They (BJP) are trying to distract the attention of the youth," he added.
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."
