93,000 calls intercepted in Gujarat in 7 months: Congress

Oza also said Congress will have "zero tolerance" on the issue of women's exploitation and sought to reject the criticism that her party was politicising the issue and treating it differently from other cases of women's exploitation in Congress-ruled states.

Chacko said if social organisations and activists are also supporting a cause taken by Congress, it means that his party was standing up for a right cause.

Former UPCC chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi said, "Who said is not important. What was said is important. It is not important who is charging whom but the facts that have come out are not frivolous.

"Jaitley cannot say it was frivolous. A person like Jaitely, who himself is a lawyer and had raised the issue of telephone tapping on himself so assertively has dubbed this incident as absurd... Congress will not allow it to be covered up. We are very angry the way, BJP is dealing with the issue."
