Allegations of espionage of leaders and officers from Feedback Unit
The Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday approved a CBI inquiry against Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on allegations of spying through the Feedback Unit of the Kejriwal government.
The BJP had accused Sisodia of spying on central government ministries, opposition parties, various organizations and individuals through the ‘Feedback Unit’ of the Delhi government. The unit was formed after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government in Delhi in 2015. Being the minister of Vigilance Department, these allegations have been leveled against Sisodia.

Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena has recommended the Central Government to get the matter investigated by the CBI. After this, the CBI had sought permission from the Central Government to register the case. In a letter issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs dated February 17, permission has been given to take action against Sisodia.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has given permission for the case against Sisodia under the Anti-Corruption Act.
BJP’s allegation- AAP is secretly listening
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari had targeted the Kejriwal government in this matter. He had said – Delhi’s Feedback Unit is spying. AAP is secretly listening. AAP leaders are not working for Delhi, rather they use the taxpayers’ money of Delhi to get spying done illegally. The BJP had also taken out a protest march from ITO to the Secretariat on Wednesday.
AAP said – the allegations are completely false
At the same time, the Aam Aadmi Party has called the BJP’s allegations a bundle of lies on this matter. Deputy CM Manish Sisodia tweeted and said – implicating your rivals in a false case is a sign of a weak and cowardly person. As the Aam Aadmi Party grows, many more cases will be filed against us.
BJP protested outside CM’s residence in Delhi yesterday, demanding his resignation as well.

Why permission had to be taken from the Ministry of Home Affairs for CBI investigation?
Senior advocate and legal expert Virag Gupta said that since Delhi is a union territory, the elected government of the state comes under the lieutenant governor and the central government. The CBI has also been constituted under the rules of the Delhi Police. In such a situation, the permission to investigate any minister or officer of Delhi has to be taken from the Lieutenant Governor and the Central Government. Delhi Police works under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This is the reason why the CBI had to seek permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs through the Lieutenant Governor.
