Kumaraswamy denies involvement in phone tapping of seer
Former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, in a series of emotional tweets, denied that his coalition government had tapped the phone of Nirmalananda Swami.
Kumaraswamy said that he was immensely pained over BJP’s “politically motivated” allegation.
The tweet was in response to revenue minister R Ashoka’s claim that the JD(S)-Congress coalition government did not spare even religious leaders.
Ashoka further reiterated his allegation and said “god will punish those who committed the sin of spying on the seer”.
The war of words comes at a time when the CBI has expedited the investigation into the case.
