New Delhi: Fifty BJP MPs on Tuesday tabled a breach of privilege notice in Lok Sabha against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for announcing outside Parliament his decision to reject setting up of a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on the issue of alleged phone tapping.
The MPs submitted the petition to Lok Sabha Secretary General P D T Achary.
Their action comes close on the heels of Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj objecting to the Prime Minister's announcement on the issue.
"This is a disrespect to the House. The Prime Minister should give a statement in the House on the issue," she said in Lok Sabha.
She insisted this was a serious matter as phones of even cabinet ministers were allegedly tapped. BJP has also demanded a JPC into the IPL controversy.
