The CBI, RAW and the Intelligence Bureau are among the agencies that can intercept, monitor and decrypt and information stored in any computer. The order said "the Competent Authority hereby authorises the following Security and Intelligence Agencies for the purposes of interception, monitoring and decryption of any information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource". The phrase "any information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource" became the trigger in the House and on Twitter. Some observers also questioned the need to bring out the order without any provocation. “Converting India into a police state isn’t going to solve your problems, Modi ji,” tweeted Congress president Rahul.
