#SnoopingWars #NationAt9 Is the government acting like a big brother. Is India becoming a police state under the bjp at least that’s what the opposition thinks. While the government is saying there is nothing new in the surveillance order and was passed under the UPA era and it has just decided to announce the agencies that can snoop but what’s worrying citizens the most. Is the sheer scale at which snooping can take place. Citizens data, emails, phone calls. All can be intercepted and decrypted but most importantly. What are the legal implications of the executive order is the big question. While section 69 was held constitutionally valid by Supreme Court in 2015. It needs to now be reviewed in the wake of right to privacy being a fundamental right and above all what are the national security concerns that have forced the government to come out with the order just six months ahead of election.
