Mamata's phone being tapped: TC leader

Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Partha Chatterjee on Tuesday alleged that telephones of party chief Mamata Banerjee and other senior leaders were being tapped on the instruction of the state government.

Raising a point of order after the Question Hour, Chatterjee alleged that a senior official at Bhawani Bhawan (the state CID headquarter) was monitoring the tapping of telephones of Banerjee and other senior leaders of the party.

He said it was a serious issue and an attempt to curb the political activities of the Opposition.
Chatterjee said Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, who is also in charge of the Home (police) department, should summon the officer and seek an explanation.

Speaker Hasim Abdul Halim said the telephone department was controlled by the Central government.
