Now a days, many Indian leaders are under the issue of phone tapping. Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Jan 9, 2006 alleged that the conversations of party president were tapped in the past and called for an investigation into this "serious issue" in which all parties have trust.
Tapping phone calls without information and permission of the home department is violation of democracy and goes against the privacy of a person.
"The phone tapping issue is getting murkier with every passing day. We have already given a notice for discussion on the issue when the Lok Sabha meets for the budget session next month. We will demand setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the matter," BJP deputy leader in the lower house V K Malhotra.
Private detective agency owner was arrested in connection with the phone tapping of Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh. Investigators were questioning the accused to ascertain whether somebody had hired them or they were tapping phones on their own.
The country should know how many telephones are being tapped, who are the political leaders under surveillance. The tapping of phones of Opposition leaders reminds one of Emergency days.
