Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday said the government should either call for a joint parliamentary committee probe into the Pegasus snooping allegations or request the Supreme Court to appoint a sitting judge to investigate the matter.

If France, Israel can order investigation into Pegasus snooping matter, why India should not, he asked in an interview with PTI. He also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi make a statement in Parliament clarifying whether there had been a surveillance or not.
