New Delhi, March 15
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor
on Sunday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Delhi Police
sought details about Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.
In a
series of tweets, Tharoor said the prime minister needed to explain why
the government needed details of a person protected by the Special
Protection Group (SPG).
"PMOIndia needs to explain why it needs
details of a person protected by the SPG. All his movements are recorded
by SPG," Tharoor tweeted.
“Police sought telephone numbers,
addresses of Rahul Gandhi's associates and friends. Delhi Police need to
clarify why this info was needed,†said the MP.
Terming the
incident as 'Snoopgate 2', Tharoor said: “Original Snoopgate involved
misuse of Gujarat government machinery for surveillance of a woman.
Snoopgate2 involves misuse of police versus opponents ?â€
