Congress seeks to investigate an Israeli firm’s alleged “use” in Indian elections.

On Thursday, Congress demanded an investigation into the alleged use of an Israeli team of contractors to interfere in Indian elections. It asked the government to end its silence on the matter.

Congress spokespersons Pawan Khera and Supriya Shrinate drew parallels between “Team Jorge,” an Israeli team of contractors, and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) IT cell in spreading misinformation and “fake news” to influence the country’s electoral process at a press conference here.

They also claimed that Indians’ data was compromised.

According to a report published on Wednesday, “Team Jorge,” suspected of interfering in more than 30 elections worldwide, has been linked with the software used to run bogus social media campaigns in countries including India.

“In India, we noticed a pattern. We want the government to break its silence and explain what it has done to save democracy in the country “Shrinate stated that it is the Centre’s responsibility to respond when an international agency makes such a serious allegation.

“This has a direct impact on India’s electoral process, and there should be an investigation,” she said.

“If the government does nothing, it is likely that it is seeking assistance in interfering with the country’s democracy and elections. The data of Indians is being jeopardised by its transfer to a foreign firm “According to the head of Congress’s social media department.

According to Shrinate, this is not the first time the Narendra Modi government has been accused of data theft.

“One of the serious charges levelled against this government is data theft and manipulation in order to tamper with the electoral process. You witnessed what occurred in Karnataka. This administration is well-known for exploiting big data. This is nothing more than the assassination of democracy “She claimed.
