HYDERABAD: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh told presspersons here on Sunday that even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's phone was being tapped. "My source surprised me by saying that I had spoken to the Prime Minister. Asked how he knew, he replied that Dr. Singh's phone was also being tapped". He said he was receiving threats. If anything were to happen to him and his family, the UPA Government would be held responsible.
Seek high-level probe
Mr. Singh briefed Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu about the phone-tapping issue. Demanding a high-level, impartial probe, they said Chief Ministers Jayalalithaa, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Nitish Kumar could monitor the probe. Mr. Naidu said it was time the Opposition came together to fight the menace. "Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has gone on record that her phone is being tapped and so has former Prime Minister Deve Gowda. BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu has said that his leader L.K. Advani's telephonic conversations are being monitored. It is time that all of India, particularly the Opposition parties, fights off the threat to democracy," he said. "Political parties always have the choice of fighting it out at the hustings. This is illegal, unethical and absolutely condemnable," Mr. Singh and Mr. Naidu said.
