As tens of millions tuned in to watch the IPL final last night, opposition parties were threatening to disrupt Parliament unless Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister, responded personally to allegations in a magazine last week that the State had eavesdropped on ministers’ calls. “This is turning out to be the biggest scandal,” said Rajiv Pratap Rudy, a spokesman for the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. “Why is the Government silent? We will not accept anybody’s answer except the Prime Minister,” he said.
