CM Baghel tweeted in Hindi, "There is not a single democratic entity which has not been spied by the Modi Government. Even, they have not spared the Army. And for this, the government has spent billions of rupees for purchasing Pegasus. They are avoiding speaking the truth. This is an act of treason."
लोकतंत्र का ऐसा कोई स्तंभ नहीं जिससे जुड़े लोगों की जासूसी मोदी सरकार ने न की हो, सेना तक को नहीं छोड़ा।

सच बताने से भी बचते रहे। यह देशद्रोह ही है।
