Amit Shah at the session of National Conference on Delivering Democracy: Reviewing two decades of PM Narendra Modi as Head of Government: What government did we have at the time of the 2014 polls? We had a government where cabinet ministers didn't consider PM, a PM. Everybody considered themselves the PM. It seemed that at some point, India's democratic system would collapse. But then BJP declared Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate. Only then, the anger inside the people looked like turning into hope.

Pegasus matter: Supreme Court says there has been no specific denial by the Centre in the issue, thus we have no option but to accept the submissions of petitioner prima facie and we appoint an expert committee whose function will be overseen by the Supreme Court.
 

New Delhi: “If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself," CJI starts pronouncing order into alleged Pegasus spyware case, by reading George Orwell's quote. Supreme Court says that some of the petitioners are direct victims of Pegasus; it is incumbent upon the Centre to seriously consider the use of such a technology. the apex court noted that we live in the era of information and we must recognise that while technology is important, it's important to safeguard the right to privacy, not only for journalists but for all citizens.
