16 Adhesives found @ North Block
Ever since Indian Express came up with this amazing story on the Security breach at North Block, the problem of increasing TRP for the various TV channels have reduced considerably - at least for the next couple of days!
However, here are a few questions that come to my mind:
-
If 16 adhesives have been found, how is it that the perpetrators were so smart as to remove the bugging devices but still were naive enough to leave behind the "Chewing-gum-like" adhesives at all those strategic spots?
-
Considering that the security breach occurred in such a high-security zone it must have crossed the mind of Pranabda that there was an involvement of insiders. And, as the security apparatus was coming under the Home Ministry, Pranabda could have had doubts in his mind about the advisability of asking the very same ministry to do a "secret investigation". Why should this be misconstrued as a suspicion of the Home Minister and bring in elements of political rivalry?
-
If, indeed, the person who complained, viz., Pranabda, happens to be satisfied with the subsequent investigation and feels that the matter can be laid to rest, do the people not have a right to know exactly what happened, why, what was actually found and what action was taken based on the findings?
- How do we know that there are no more such "adhesives" with or without electronic bugs in various other ministers' offices, residences, parliament house, army headquarters, etc.?
-
If, due to genuine security reasons, is it not possible for the Government to take the leaders of the major opposition parties into confidence, and, in a non-partisan manner, can't the Government have a joint press conference along with the leaders from across all political parties where they can jointly declare that no further details would be provided keeping in mind the security considerations?
The nation does have a right to get answers to the above questions. The Government must speak up. With clarity.
