Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's allegations that the Instagram accounts of her children have been hacked will be investigated by the government's advanced anti-cybercrime unit, sources have said.
The centre decided to investigate the allegation on its own.
"Leave phone tapping. Instagram account of my children have also been hacked," Priyanka told reporters when asked about allegations of phone tapping of opposition leaders by the government.
"Does the government have no other work?" she asked.
The Congress leader made the allegation days after Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of getting his telephones tapped and listening to the recordings of his conversations every evening.
Gandhi also claimed that her 'Ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon' (I'm a girl and can fight) campaign has forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a women's meeting in Prayagraj.
"Due to 'Ladki hoon, Lad sakti hoon' campaign of Congress, PM has to work for women. PM has bowed before the women power. This is a victory of women of Uttar Pradesh," she said.
