Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took center stage amidst the iPhone hacking controversy and dismissed the government by asserting the Opposition isn't scared and will keep fighting. In a jibe, he said the government can 'tap phones' as much as they want and he doesn't care, even offering his own phone. Gandhi accused the government of distraction politics. This follows several Opposition leaders claiming they got Apple alerts of state-sponsored attackers trying to remotely hack their iPhones. Shiv Sena's Priyanka Chaturvedi, TMC's Mahua Moitra, AAP's Raghav Chadha, Congress' Shashi Tharoor, and Pawan Khera posted such alert screenshots. Rahul Gandhi asserted the Opposition won't be intimidated by such alleged phone-tapping efforts and will continue challenging the government.
