Illegal Phone Tapping: Whither privacy?

Tags: ,

Well, then there are some real desperadoes to subvert national security. There is no REAL per se. Your thoughts can be accessed and these write ups are for some stashing away or indexed in for times to come.

At heels of Telecom Scandal comes the “phone tapping“. It has been done before and it would be done in future. Further, it may just be a ploy to divert the attention from malnutrition deaths and alarming infant mortality rates. This is a clear pointer to failure at many fronts and NOTHING is being done about it.

If news remains suppressed, it is “good” for governance.

Weep countrymen. For voting the kaangress in power.

Update : Swapan Dasgupta’s excellent write up in Pioneer.
