The sensational disclosure about the possible bugging of finance minister Pranab Mukherjee's office is obviously not a very simple happening but it has several dimensions to it.
It is also not the first time that cloak and dagger activities have been discovered at the highest echelons of power. Soon after Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister with a massive mandate of more than 415 MPs following his mother's brutal assassination, a Spy scandal in the Prime Minister's office hit the headlines in the first week of January, 1985.
I believe this has been happening for quite some time, but was only discovered lately. Looking at the crude tactics used, I think the suspicion points to domestic parties or some neighboring countries spooks.
