Ahmedabad: Stepping up pressure on ruling BJP over the snooping incident, Congress in Gujarat today petitioned the Governor demanding to scrap the state government-appointed inquiry commission tasked with probing the alleged illegal surveillance of a woman architect.
The Opposition party also demanded setting up of an independent panel to inquire into the snooping incident and also phone tapping by the Home Department.
The demands were part of a memorandum submitted to Governor Kamla Beniwal by a State Congress delegation.
“Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has violated the Indian Telegraph Act and hence, a complaint should be lodged against him. An inquiry should be conducted into phone tappings ordered by the State Government and collection of 93,000 Call Data Records (CDRs),” the memorandum read.
Congress has alleged Modi's involvement in the scandal.
The delegation, led by Leader of Opposition Shankarsinh Vaghela, consisted of leaders like Arjun Modhwadia and Shaktisinh Gohil, among others.
