West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday took a swipe at the Central Government over the alleged snooping of politicians and journalists by the Israeli spyware Pegasus , saying she has plastered her phone to prevent spying. Referring to Pegasus as "dangerous" and "ferocious", the West Bengal CM said, "Our phones are tapped. Addressing a virtual gathering to mark Martyr's Day, CM Banerjee further said, "We should also plaster the Centre otherwise country will be destroyed. Giving a twist to her victory slogan 'Khela Hobe', the Bengal CM said that one game has happened in the state and "another game's afoot". We will declare August 16 Khel Divas in Bengal," Banerjee said.
