NEW DELHI: A day after Congress neta Rahul Gandhi said his phone is being tapped by PM Narendra Modi, Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda said his telephone is under constant surveillance and his laptops and bank accounts are always under attack, though he did not know who was behind it.On being asked to comment on Rahul’s allegation that Modi is tapping his phone, Pitroda said, “The PM does not do that. The PM does not take a screwdriver and get on a computer to tap it. But somebody is doing it.” He refused to comment on Rahul’s allegation naming Modi. “That is for Rahul Gandhi to do. I am telling you my side,” he said.

Pitroda, however, said he had shown his laptop to Apple and other experts who told him, “You are always under attack.”When pressed to answer who was behind the tapping and attacks on devices, Pitroda told NDTV, “I don’t know who does that, but somebody is doing it.”Suggesting that he is being targeted in every way possible, Pitroda said, “People do that. There are people who are trying to promote one agenda.”“They change my Wikipedia by design… Some guy wrote to my children about all kinds of stuff, goofy pictures and all that. I told them to ignore it… there are nasty people around. What do you do? I don’t have the resources to follow all this,” the Overseas Congress chief added.But the technocrat also said that he was unruffled by the cyber attacks. “I have no issue. I can live with it. They can take whatever they want to take, take two and two and make four out of it. I don’t care,” he added.
