Himachal Chief minister Virbhadra Singh on Wednesday said that his Government had adopted a stand of zero tolerance against corruption and no one involved in the mass-scale phone tapping will be spared.
Singh said that although State Government would not resort to political vendetta but anyone involved in corruption at any level won't be spared and tolerated at all. He was speaking at the convention of Shimla district Congress committee on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister again targeted the previous BJP Government and said that the Government breached the democratic rights and right to privacy of common man by illegally intercepting their phone calls.
He added that those officers or officials involved in phone tapping would not be spared and strict action would be taken according to law of the land.
Singh said that pace of development would be accelerated in the field of education, health, power supply, water supply and certain other sectors as the people of the state had much expectations from the Congress government and concerted efforts would be made for fulfilling the aspirations of the people.
