Rajya Sabha MP and senior BJP leader K. Laxman has said his party would approach Telangana Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan seeking his intervention on the ‘shocking’ phone tapping case under the previous Government led by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), in the view of more complainants coming forward and the Congress Government not taking any action against the “real persons” responsible for the criminal act.
He has once again reiterated his party’s call for a full fledged probe by the CBI into the illegal phone tapping and said it was necessary to identify the perpetrators behind the intrusion into personal lives of citizens and encroachment upon their fundamental rights.
Addressing a press conference at the party’s State office in Hyderabad on Wednesday, Mr. Laxman claimed that tapping phones of individuals and making use of the unethical surveillance under the leadership of a retired senior police official to extort money from business persons and blackmailing of the political opponents is a matter of “national security”.
