Internal probe into Bengal sting operation by Parliamentary committee
Urging the government to immediately order a probe into the matter, CPI(M) member Sitaram Yechury said, “This is a scam of the highest order.” He said perhaps there was a “match-fixing” between the government and the Trinamool Congress on the issue.
“If the government is not responding, the chair has to protect the dignity of the House and order a house probe,” he said.
“When Tehelka tapes came , their leader (Mamata Banerjee) and their party had walked out of the BJP government,” Yechury said.
However, the Trinamool Congress questioned the credibility of the video footage and hinted that foreign money was involved in creating these videos.
Raising the issue in the Rajya Sabha, party member Derek O’Brien said, “Let us not judge the credibility of the video; let’s judge the source of the video.” He said that “my issue is much bigger”, and added that the day what he dubbed as the “so-called” sting operation video was released, the portal company had made five telephone calls to Dubai.
