The government would brazen out the allegations of snooping until it is known who the "Indian client" of Israeli firm NSO Group''s Pegasus spyware was and that name would be revealed soon, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Tuesday.
The former home minister said that based on investigations by an international group of journalists, news portal ''The Wire'' has reported that there was "an Indian client of the NSO Group".
