Besides, data of journalists including Rajdeep Sardesai of India Today, Barkha Dutt of Mojo Story, Dhanya Rajendran of The NewsMinute, Rahul Shivshankar of Times Now were also leaked, Gokhale said. “The personal details of literally every Indian who got a Covid-19 vaccination are freely available on this leaked database,” th TMC spokesman said.
Gokhale questiond how personal details including passport no, Aadhaar no., etc. get leaked “when Modi Govt claims it follows "strong data security"? “Why is the Modi Govt including Home Ministry not aware of this leak and why haven't Indians been informed about a data breach?,” he asked. “Who has the Modi Govt given access to sensitive personal data of Indians incl Aadhaar and Passport nos. which enabled this leak?,” he questioned further.
Gokhale termed it was a “matter of serious national concern”. “And predictably, the Minister in-charge of this is Ashwini Vaishnaw who heads the Electronics, Communications, and IT portfolios in addition to Railways. How long will incompetence of Ashwini Vaishnaw be ignored by PM Modi?,” he said.
