As per news report of NDTV, Mr Gandhi was addressing reporters after a meeting of 14 opposition parties - a meeting to chalk out a strategy to take on the government over the Pegasus phone-hacking scandal, which has triggered protests in, and forced repeated adjournments of, the monsoon session of parliament. "The entire opposition is here... our voice is being curtailed in parliament. We are only asking if the Pegasus software was bought and if it was used against certain persons in India," Mr Gandhi said. "The government has said no discussion... " he said, adding, "Why shouldn't we have a discussion on the floor of the House? Narendra Modi has put a weapon (and is) snooping on our phones."
