Phones of opposition MLAs being tapped in Himachal: BJP’s Jai Ram Thakur

Himachal Pradesh Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur on Thursday alleged that the “phones of MLAs of opposition party are being tapped” in the state and sought a clarification from Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.

“If it is true, a new tradition has been started in the state and this should not be allowed,” he said, adding the CM did not speak a word on this when asked about it.

He said phones of only criminal elements are tapped and that too with the permission from the home ministry.

“As per my information, phones of MLAs of opposition party are being tapped in the state till late night,” he told reporters here.
