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'".

The BJP reacted on Twitter saying, it did not expect "any better" from the Congress chief. It also said the data is used only for analytics using third party service, similar to Google Analytics.
