NDA is surveillance sarkar: Cong on chip in set-top box plan
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala termed the BJP-led NDA government a "surveillance sarkar" after the Information and Broadcasting Ministry's proposal to install chips in new television set-top boxes to ascertain viewership data. Calling the move "a serious breach of privacy", he said I&B Minister Smriti Irani wanted to know what TV shows people watched within the four walls of their bedrooms.
