Judges’ phones being tapped allegation of Kejriwal, denied by the Government

NEW DELHI: Arvind Kejriwal’s allegation at an event attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that judges’ phones are tapped, was rebutted by the government at the same platform.

The Delhi Chief Minister, alleging government interference in judges’ appointments, said at a function: “I heard that judges’ phones are being tapped and they are afraid to talk. This is wrong and must not be allowed.”

A retort came promptly from Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who said: “I have been Communication Minister for two years and I completely deny that phones of judges are tapped at all.”
