Andhra Govrnment Tapping Phones of Opposition Party: TDP Chief Write to PM Modi

• TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu wrote a letter to PM Modi and claimed that Reddy Govt is tapping phones of the opposition party and urged him to intervene in the matter.
• In the letter, he stated that the ruling party is "illegally and unlawfully tapping the phones of leaders of opposition parties, advocates, media persons & social activities." 
• He said that telephone tapping can only be done in the case of threat to national security and "such sophisticated technology in the hands of miscreants", would only violate the right to privacy. 
• "Such illegal and unlawful practices by governments or private persons if unrestrained would lead to the destruction of institutions that were built painstakingly over a period of time," he added. 
• Naidu further said that in the long run, such "nefarious activities would result in the breakdown of democratic values and freedom of speech leading to Jungle Raj."
