THE Opposition attacked the government after a report appeared in a news magazine that the phones of the several politicians were tapped. I wonder why there is so much hue and cry over such a petty issue? As a matter of fact, the issue should have been why several politicians were left out of this phone tapping business. The conversations of all leading politicians should be recorded and made public on demand through RTI.
The phone talks between Capt Amarinder Singh and his Pakistani friend Arusha Alam, too, have a good sale potential. Old hits of tête-à-tête between Amar Singh and Bollywood heroines can also hot up the market. The revenue could always be shared between the phone companies and the politician involved. Then, there would be a
neck-breaking competition between the politicians to make their secret
phone conversation crispier to rank high in popularity charts. A
journo asked a Congress spokesperson, "What do you think about
the recent phone tapping?" The politician replied, "It,
surely, is going to improve with the 3G and 4G phone technology."

I
am sure 90 per cent of the information would be worthless. Even if
advertised on the radio and TV it won’t attract any buyers. Banners
may scream, "Most recently tapped juicy conversation between the
agricultural minister and the leader of orange-growers association is
available on DVDs." I bet nobody would buy it. But if the DVD
contains conversation between Sunanda Pushkar and Shashi Tharoor, it
will sell like hot cakes and there are chances it may bring handsome
revenues.
