New Delhi: Stepping up attack on Narendra Modi, Congress today revived the demand for a probe by a Supreme Court judge into the snoopgate, dubbing the inquiry instituted by Gujarat Government as a “Save Modi Commission”.
Gujarat Congress leaders have petitioned President Pranab Mukherjee and written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to investigate the “Snoopgate CD of telephonic conversations ....that exposed the unauthorised and illegal spying and tapping of phonecalls of a girl of special interest to the Gujarat Chief Minister” .
At the AICC briefing, state Congress chief Arjun Modhwadia and former state CLP leader Shaktisinh Gohil suggested that such a probe was a must as the Modi regime has witnessed illegal telephone tapping of some 93,000 persons per month.
AICC spokesman Sandeep Dikshit said that the demand was “justified” and the probe was “needed” as the matter involved inter-state issues as the surveillance extended to Maharashtra and Karnataka too.
