When it comes to spying, our netas are habitual offenders. Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party are at a war of words yet again, this time over an alleged snooping row. A book by former joint director of the Intelligence Bureau, the late Maloy Krishna Dhar, provided quite an insight. In Open Secrets, India’s Intelligence Unveiled he spoke about the agency being used for snooping often by the Gandhis. Former prime minister Indira Gandhi was one of India’s first politicians to indulge in snooping. She asked the IB to keep a tab on the then home minister Giani Zail Singh. And that’s not all. The former PM also ordered the IB to keep an eye on daughter-in-law Maneka Gandhi, wife of Sanjay Gandhi. The intelligence agency spied on all her friends and tapped their conversations. They even snooped on Maneka’s mother and the editorial board of a magazine run by her. Rajiv Gandhi followed his mother’s footsteps. He too ordered the IB to snoop on Zail Singh, who was then the President. Rashtrapathi Bhavan was bugged. Having an inkling of it, Singh met his visitors only in the garden. So you Guys in Congress Beware of SKELETONS IN CUPBOARD
