New Delhi, 14th Nov: Congress leader Sam Pitroda has distanced himself from Rahul Gandhi’s allegation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi taps his phone, saying he does not believe the Prime Minister engages in such activity.

In an interview, Pitroda said, “PM doesn’t do that. PM doesn’t take a screwdriver and get on a computer.”

However, Pitroda claimed that his own phone was tapped, his laptop attacked and bank accounts placed under surveillance. He said he had consulted experts who examined his devices and cautioned him about possible tapping, but declined to identify who he believed was responsible.

“Somebody is doing that. I don’t know and I don’t care. I live with it. I have no issue,” he said.

His remarks came a day after Rahul Gandhi accused the Central government of surveillance and claimed that the Prime Minister was aware of his phone being tapped. Gandhi also challenged Modi to agree to a face-to-face debate, saying it would expose alleged links with foreign powers.

The BJP rejected Gandhi’s allegations. Party leader and former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar dismissed the claims, saying nobody was interested in tapping Gandhi’s phone and accusing him of making repeated false statements.

Pitroda’s comments have drawn attention amid his recent exchange of festive greetings with Modi, which had also sparked political discussion.
