The Uttarakhand Congress organised a march in protest against the alleged Pegasus software spying case in Dehradun on Thursday.
On the day, a large number of party workers and leaders gathered at the busy Dilaram Chowk and proceeded for a march towards Raj Bhawan. The police however stopped the march near Hathibadkala. A minor skirmish broke out between the agitated workers and police when they tried to scale over the barricades. The police arrested many leaders and workers and took them to the police lines where they were released later in the day. Addressing the party workers, the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Pritam Singh said that complete moral degradation of BJP has occurred. He said that instead of providing relief to the people suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic the party is engaging in the heinous game of snooping.
The PCC president said that the shocking revelation proves that the BJP government is hell bent to weaken the democracy in the country.
He said that people have started calling BJP as Bharatiya Jasoos Party due to the activities of Modi- Shah Duo. Singh said that the Congress party would take the issue to the people of the country.
The vice president of Uttarakhand Congress, Surya Kant Dhasmana said that earlier the BJP leaders used to act as spies of British and now they are engaged in snooping the phones of the people.
He said that the phones of politicians, journalists and other personalities were snooped on by the government which proves that the government wants to crush democracy in the country.
Congress leaders Dinesh Agarwal, Ramyash Singh, Rajkumar, Sanjay Paliwal and others attended the protest march.
