Suspected bugging of FM's office should be inquired: Digvijay

New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) Surprised over the alleged
bugging of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's office,
Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh Thursday said the
matter needs to be inquired into.
"I was literally surprised that Finance Minister's
office may be tapped, may be bugged. This is something which
is unheard of and I think the government should take a sort of
view on this and should inquire into who is responsible", he
told NDTV.
He was asked whether he was "appalled" to read about
the suspected tapping of the Finance Minister's office in the
backdrop of indications that 'all is not well' inside the
Congress and the UPA.
Asked whether the issue was a shame on the government,
he remarked, "Until and unless you know who has done it, how
can you sort of say anything like that."
"Naturally, yes", he responded when asked whether the
issue needed to be investigated.
Congress spokespersons have so far been maintaining
that the Opposition was making a mountain out of a molehill by
turning the matter into a political row. PTI SPG
