Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that the phones of many Opposition leaders are being taped and cited the alleged notification sent by mobile giant Apple. 

Several opposition leaders on Tuesday claimed they had received an alert from Apple warning them of "state-sponsored attackers trying to remotely compromise" their iPhones and posted purported screenshots of the message on their X handles.     

He also dared the Central government and said, "Do as much phone tapping as possible, you can take my phone, I am not scared. This is the work of criminals and thieves." "A number of people in my office have got this message... In Congress, KC Venugopal ji, Supriya, Pawan Khera have got it too...They (BJP) are trying to distract the attention of the youth."

"...Very few people are fighting against this but we are not scared. You can do as much (phone) tapping as you want, I don't care. If you want to take my phone, I will give it to you..," he added.
