REPORTS that phones of communication Minister
A Raja were tapped and his private conversations leaked to the media has alarmed
many central ministers. Ministers from Raja's home state of Tamil Nadu are
especially concerned over phone tapping. One minister routinely borrows the
mobile phones of visitors to his office to make confidential phone calls.
For the same reason, several ministers meet political callers at Parliament's
Central Hall, even when the House is not in session, rather than at their
offices. They presume that Big Brother is not listening in the hallowed confines
of Parliament.
