BJP, Cong spar over illegal snooping row

New Delhi: The illegal snooping row intensified today with the BJP rejecting Congress demand for a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge and the ruling party accusing Narendra Modi of heading a “fascist” set



“What is being witnessed in Gujarat is a fascist arrangement where dictator is one - the Chief Minister. He can kill any body and he can put any body under surveillance.” Two investigative portals, Cobrapost and Gulail, had claimed on November 15 that Amit Shah, the former home minister of Gujarat and Modi's close aide, had ordered illegal surveillance of a woman at the behest of one “saheb”.  

They had released taped conversation between Shah and an IPS officer to back up their claim, adding that its authenticity could not be confirmed.

Congress had promptly demanded a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge to fix accountability and said Modi has lost the moral right to be BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate.
