Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav was among a group of politicians who received an Apple alert on their iPhones about a possible cyber-attack. Addressing a press conference, Mr Yadav said: "Sadly, in our democracy, they are trying to take away your independence and your right to privacy. It is very sad and there is no place for things like this in our democracy. The government should investigate why this happened. Many renowned politicians were a part of this attack and what is the use of spying when the public is against you?"
