New Delhi, July 26: The Centre on Tuesday refuted opposition’s Vice-Presidential candidate Margaret Alva’s phone tapping allegation.
Taking to Twitter this morning, Alva said:
The fear that ‘Big Brother’ is always watching & listening permeates all conversations between politicians across party lines in ‘new’ India. MPs & leaders of parties carry multiple phones, frequently change numbers & talk in hushed whispers when they meet. Fear kills democracy.

Responding to her allegation, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, said:
Why should anybody tap her phone? We’re confident about what the result of the VP election will be. Why should we do this? These are childish allegations. She’s a senior person & at least she should not make such allegations. pic.twitter.com/jACVAAbfuo
