PTI / The Hindu /  CHANDIGARH, June 26, 2011.

Rubbishing the Home Minister’s contention that reported bugging of Pranab Mukherjee’s office was a “non-event”, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said it was a very serious matter and demanded that the Finance Minister’s letter to the Prime Minister in this regard be made public.

Reacting sharply to Mr. Chidambaram saying he did not know about the bugging incident in the offices of the Finance Minister and his aides, BJP spokesman Ravishankar Prasad said, “while the Finance Minister takes services of CBDT and foreign investigators before writing to the Prime Minister, the Home Minister says he was not aware.”

Expressing surprise at Mr. Chidambaram’s statement that he was not aware of the Intelligence Bureau’s probe into Mr. Mukherjee’s complaint about “bugging” of his office in North Block despite the IB being under the Home Minister, Mr. Prasad said, ”...It is the biggest comedy of Independent India.”

Really grave issue that is being archived by the over-sensitive UPA Government but, Nation needs to know the truth!

PTI / The Hindu.

Former CBDT chairman Sudhir Chandra has been questioned by the Intelligence Bureau over his role in hiring private detectives in sweeping clear the rooms of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his staff after detection of “plated adhesives” in 16 key locations.

During the questioning on Thursday, IB officials asked Mr. Chandra, who was then Member (Investigations) in the CBDT, why private detectives were called before informing the IB to inspect the plated “bugs” in the Ministry of Finance, official sources said.

When contacted, Mr. Chandra denied that he has been quizzed by anyone, saying at the time of reported “bugging” he was not the chairman of CBDT and he had no role in hiring private detectives.

An inquiry is also on to find out the name of the private detective agency which carried out the debugging exercise in the Ministry of Finance.

“It is not a formal inquiry but discreetly the investigators are trying to find out the name and the findings of that agency,” the sources said.

Sonia Singh, Updated: June 25, 2011 19:21 IST / http://www.ndtv.com.

New Delhi:  In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Sonia Singh, Home Minister P Chidambaram - to whom the Intelligence Bureau reports - has said he had no idea about the so called 'bugging' attempt on the Finance Minister's office till he saw it in the newspapers this week.

Mr Chidambaram, however, rubbished Opposition's arguments that this proves 'there is a civil war' between him and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. Asked why he had been bypassed by Mr Mukherjee who wrote to the Prime Minister, he said it had been dismissed as a non event which is why he wasn't briefed.

Here's the transcript of the interview:

NDTV: The political story that has dominated the headlines this week is the alleged bugging attempt of the Finance Minister's office. As Home Minister, in charge of internal security, could you clarify what it actually was?

Mr Chidambaram: Well, I didn't know about it until it hit the newspapers or the media. Apparently last September or October the intelligence bureau was asked to look into this complaint or suspicion that the Finance Minister's office has been "bugged". They went into it, did a complete investigation and sent the substance to a forensic science lab. They got a report that it was an adhesive kind of substance and there was no evidence of any bugs being planted anywhere and those reports I saw three days ago.

...................................................................................................................................................................

One this is for sure: either they are running a play-pen, which unruly kids might have carelessly stuck up bubble gum at 16 different points of three chambers of the office of the Finance Minister or something is, really, fishy they found and they are trying to protect someone!

• Government today insisted that there was no bugging of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's office, saying the whole thing is 'bogus' and the matter should be closed now.
  "I had myself talked to the Finance Minister last evening on this matter. There is nothing to take forward. The Finance Minister has categorically and emphatically stated (to the media) that it has been investigated and the answer is there has been no bugging," Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ambika Soni told reporters here.
  Mukherjee had maintained that the Intelligence Bureau had not found any evidence of bugging and the substance found in 16 key places in the Finance Minister's office was "chewing gum".

For IB's Chewing Gum Theory to be true, Mr. Mukherjee must be running a play pen, on the side and that the kids were so unruly that they leave chewed gum here and there!

• The explanation given by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) that the adhesives found in Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's office were chewing gums, is a 'joke', the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Wednesday.
  "IB's chewing gum theory is a joke. A childish argument like this...if they want the country to believe that it was a chewing gum, people will laugh," BJP leader Sushma Swaraj told reporters on Wednesday.
  "From where such intelligent chewing gum came, which goes to the finance minister's room, his OSD's room, advisor's room, to the conference hall, and sticks? Before giving such argument, the IB must think," she said.

IB explaining away this episode was so unimaginative that it appears to have lifted the plot from a James Bond movie!
