Govt collecting information on ‘Gujarat snooping’: Shinde

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 20 November 2013 | 22.44

NEW DELHI: Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde has said that security agencies are gathering information on the alleged snooping of a woman by Gujarat police at the behest of Narendra Modi aide Amit Shah, and a probe could be ordered if required.

"We are collecting information on this and after that we will look into the matter," he told reporters here a day after the National Commission of Women chairperson Mamta Sharma wrote to Shinde requesting a probe into the illegal surveillance mounted on the woman.

Incidentally, the home minister said he was yet to receive the NCW representation. "We have not received any letter yet," he claimed.

Two news portals, Cobrapost and Gulail, had last week released tapes of alleged telephone conversations between Shah and suspended Gujarat cadre IPS officer G L Singhal, discussing surveillance of a woman by the state police at the direction of one "saheb".

The issue has been lapped up by the Congress, with party spokespersons as well as senior ministers asking BJP prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi to come clean on the alleged "stalking" of a woman in the name of providing security.

"I think it is condemnable. Providing security is not the same as stalking, providing security is not the same as snooping," finance minister P Chidambaram noted during an interaction with reporters in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal too joined in the attack, saying that time had come for the main Opposition to come clean on the "real story behind the manufactured story (of providing security to the woman)".

The BJP, however, countered this, alleging that the Congress was engaging in "mafia-style politics to target the opposition through proxies like CBI and IAS officers, as it cannot defeat them in an open contest".
