💨 Abstract

The Congress party has accused the Indian government of turning the country into a surveillance state through a new income-tax law, claiming that it allows tax officials unrestricted access to citizens' e-mail, social media, bank, and trading accounts, based on mere suspicion, without warrant or notice. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate has warned citizens that their personal digital lives are under attack and criticized the government for misusing agencies to silence critics and crush the opposition.
