India voted against Palestine at UN after Pegasus deal: Report 

New Delhi, January 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):Israel offered Pegasus, a tool that cracked encrypted messages on iPhones and androids, to countries like India, Hungary and Mexico in order to ensure a shift in their positions at the UN, the New York Times has claimed in a year-long investigation.

Pegasus was offered to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an Indian Premier’s first-ever 2017 Israel visit as part of a $ 2 billion package that included missiles. Subsequently, India voted in favour of Israel by denying observer status at the UN’s Economic and Social Council to a Palestinian human rights organisation. “Access helped Israel win votes in the UN and to reach an accord with Arab adversaries,” reported the paper.

The Indian part of the probe by a consortium of journalists showed that an overwhelming majority of mobile phones allegedly targeted by Pegasus were critics of the Modi government. But the government has said the report was a “sensational attempt” to “malign Indian democracy” while the Ambassador of Israel to India Naor Gilon has said all exports by NSO were supervised by Tel Aviv.

The only country saved from the intrusion of Pegasus was the US. Tel Aviv pressured the parent company NSO to program Pegasus so it was incapable of dialling US numbers in order to prevent foreigners from spying on Americans. But NSO also sold the software to the FBI, relabeling it as Phantom that could attack US numbers. But in the end the FBI decided not to use it.

Pegasus helped Mexican authorities capture El Chapo, European investigators bust terrorist plots and organised crime. But Mexico also used it against journalists and political dissidents. So did some of the Gulf monarchies such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The only country that has taken action is the US which added NSO to its “entity list” for activities “contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States”.

India has surrendered foreign policy to Zionism: JKNPP 

Srinagar, January 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) has said that India has “surrendered its foreign policy to the United States of America and bowed before Zionism by surrendering the basics of foreign policy to the Anglo-American Bloc and the dictates of Zionism.”

The JKNPP President, Bhim Singh in a statement in Srinagar said, “India’s foreign policy had planted Non-Alignment in the Bandung Conference in 1955. Anglo-American Bloc dragged India out of the Non-Aligned Movement and finally, foreign policy of India was dropped in the lap of the USA.”

The JKNPP said the party held a District and Working Committee meeting in this regard. He said the members made a strong appeal to all the political parties of India to hold a joint political meeting, all over the country with a clear agenda that India should drop itself from the Non-Aligned Movement. He said it has given a reasonable space in the world which was created by the Non-Aligned Movement during the time when Congress was governing India.

The statement added that the party had decided to hold a meeting of the political parties who believe in the Non-Alignment and sharp reversal in India’s foreign policy which shall be in the great interest of the growth and progress of India.

The JKNPP shall be contacting all political parties working in India supporting the Non-Aligned Movement so that all the dangerous changes brought by the BJP government are reversed back as the Non-Aligned Movement cannot be demolished in the national interest, the statement concludes.
