Rahul Gandhi has raised the Pegasus issue once again, this time from Cambridge. He states that his mobile had Pegasus earlier and some opposition leaders are spied on even now. He has even clarified that some intelligence officials had approached him with the information that they were recording his mobile conversations. When the Supreme Court - appointed Committee had earlier asked for the mobiles of opposition leaders to see if they were subject to surveillance, they preferred not to hand over their mobiles.
Too many allegations without evidence trivialises governance in a democracy. Since the Supreme Court is a sentinel on the qui vive to protect and nurture democracy (evidenced by its order on appointment of Election Commissioners) and governance (evidenced by its appointment of a committee to investigate lapses in capital market regulations), it should suo motu ask Rahul Gandhi to identify, under oath, the intelligence officials who warned him that they were recording his mobile conversations. This will enable the nation to know the truth.
