Congress MLAs describe installing of cameras as a breach of rules and an infringement of privacy.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The controversy over the installation of additional cameras on the opposition side of the Rajasthan Assembly seems to intensify, with two Congress MLAs describing it as a breach of rules and an infringement of privacy. Responding to the allegations, the BJP government in the state hit back and called the Congress leaders\u2019 allegations \u201ccheap mentality”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the State Congress headquarters, MLA Shimla Nayak from Anupgarh and MLA Geeta Barwad from Bhopalgarh accused the Speaker and ministers of monitoring their private conversations using what they termed \u2018spy cameras\u2019.<\/p>\n

The MLAs claimed that the Assembly already had nine cameras, but two additional high-resolution cameras were allegedly used to record and observe the opposition side.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if a pen drops in the Assembly house, these spy cameras record the sound. They listen to our private discussions and capture details written on our papers,” Shimla Nayak said.<\/p>\n

Barwad added that the cameras remained active even after the House was adjourned, making female legislators feel unsafe even within the Assembly premises. \u201cThese cameras face us at all times. Our private conversations and strategy discussions are being recorded. This is a serious violation of privacy,” she added.<\/p>\n

The Congress leaders demanded to know who authorised the installation of the cameras. \u201cWith whose permission were these two spy cameras installed? Show the hard disk to reveal what is being recorded. Who gave the Speaker the right to listen to our private conversations?” \u201cShimla Nayak questioned.<\/p>\n

They cited legal precedents, noting that the Supreme Court has ruled that private recording cannot be done without consent, and argued that the surveillance violates Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy.<\/p>\n

Education Minister Madan Dilawar came out in defense of the Speaker and hit back at Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra, saying that Dotasra\u2019s thinking is \u201cnarrow and dirty.”<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cPeople think the way they act,” and alleged that such behavior reflects the true character of the Congress party.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Ajmer, protests were held in support of Education Minister Vasudev Devnani and against Dotasra over this issue. The demonstrations reflected growing political tension between the BJP and Congress over recent remarks.<\/p>\n
