New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee has said she will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi when she visits Delhi next week in the first one-on-one encounter after the bitterly-fought state elections that she won in May.
“I will go to Delhi for 2-3 days. I will meet the President if I get time. PM has given me time. I will meet him,” Mamata said, as she attacked the central government over a range of issues from the Pegasus snooping scandal to the tax raids on media houses at a news conference.
She claimed that the Pegasus spyware scandal, which broke earlier this week, was ‘worse than the Watergate scandal’ which happened during the Nixon presidency in the US and termed the use of the spyware as a super emergency.
She exhorted civil society, students, media-persons to rise in protest against the misuse of the spyware.
