Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over allegations of data sharing from his official app without users' consent, a charge the BJP trashed. Gandhi also accused the media of "burying" the story.
His attack on the PM was based on a media report in which a French vigilante hacker has purportedly alleged that data was stolen from his official App - NaMo app - without consent of the users.
"Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India's Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official app, I give all your data to my friends in American companies," Rahul Gandhi said on Twitter. In the tweet, he also attached a news story titled, 'Data theft allegations reaches PM Modi's doorstep, French vigilante hacker's stunning revelation'".
