New Delhi, Feb 16 (IANS) The BJP Saturday demanded an explanation
from Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on the alleged "unauthorised
surveillance" on its leader Arun Jaitley even as an arrested
constable said he collected the call details for personal reasons.
Calling it a serious issue, the BJP said Shinde must come clean on
who ordered the procurement of Jaitley's phone call details.
Jaitley is leader of opposition in the upper house of parliament.
"The manner in which the call details have been collected is
serious. Anyone who is found involved in this act must be
punished," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh
said here.
Jaitley's call records were allegedly accessed by Arvind Dabas, a
32-year-old Delhi Police constable, to check his communication
with an Uttrakhand leader who had assured him to settle his
property deal in Uttrakhand through Jaitley.
Dabas, who was arrested Friday for his alleged involvement in
trying to access Jaitley's mobile call records, told investigators
that a leader of Uttrakhand had assured him of providing money
which was blocked in a real estate business in Uttrakhand.
Dabas is running a real estate business with two other friends in
Uttrakhand, but his money was blocked in a case. The leader
assured him that his money will be given and his work will be done
as he was well known to Jaitley.
But BJP spokesperson Prakash Javedkar alleged that attempts to
secure Jaitley's call details were made earlier also.
"We want to know on whose order the call details were collected,"
he told reporters.
"We want to remind the Congress that these are not the days of the
Emergency that they can indulge in such an activity. We will not
take it lying down," he added.

issued to one of them did not have the signature of the concerned
officer and hence was returned by the bank.
