Eavesdropping issue: Anbumani camp demands inquiry


A sensational claim has rocked Tamil Nadu’s political circles, with sources close to Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) President Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss alleging the discovery of an eavesdropping device at the residence of his father and PMK founder, Dr. S. Ramadoss.

The ‘Anbumani camp’ has swiftly called for a thorough and immediate investigation into the highly disturbing allegation.

While details surrounding the alleged discovery remain scarce, the serious nature of the claim has sent shockwaves through the political establishment. If true, the presence of such a device at the home of a prominent political leader like Dr. S. Ramadoss, known for his influential role in state politics, raises significant concerns about privacy, security, and potential political espionage.

Sources close to Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, who is also a Member of Parliament, indicated that the ‘eavesdropping device’ was reportedly found recently. They have strongly condemned the alleged act and emphasized the need for a swift and transparent probe to ascertain the facts, identify the perpetrators, and bring them to justice.

“An inquiry is being demanded by Anbumani’s side,” a source stated, highlighting the urgency with which the matter is being pursued by the younger Ramadoss and his supporters. The specifics of how the device was discovered, its type, and potential origin have not yet been publicly disclosed, fueling speculation and concern.

This development comes at a time when political activities are intensifying in Tamil Nadu, with parties strategizing for upcoming elections and internal dynamics often playing a crucial role. The allegation of an eavesdropping device could potentially lead to a fresh wave of political recriminations and heightened scrutiny of surveillance practices.

Neither Dr. S. Ramadoss nor Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss have issued an official public statement directly addressing the alleged incident at the time of this report. However, the demand for an inquiry from the ‘Anbumani camp’ underscores the gravity with which the matter is being treated internally within the PMK and by its key leaders.
