Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today alleged that his telephones and those of his family were tapped after he raised the Aircel-Maxis issue against Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram. "When I raised the Aircel-Maxis issue against P Chidambaram, orders were given to tap my telephones and those of my family members, but we are not afraid," Sinha told a press conference here. Dubbing it as a pressure tactic, Sinha said, "This shows the Congress vindictiveness, but BJP will not succumb to such pressure or threats." Taking exception to Congress president Sonia Gandhi asking her partymen to launch a counter-offensive against the BJP following stalling Parliament on the coal block issue, Sinha accused her of being arrogant and trying to dilute it.
