Baseless, says PMO

NEW DELHI, APRIL 1. The Prime Minister's Office today denied as ``baseless and unfounded,'' allegations levelled by the Samajwadi Party chief, Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav, that the telephones of all the main Opposition leaders were being ``bugged'' and that the CBI was being pressurised to implicate these leaders by framing charges against them.

Reacting sharply to the allegations, a PMO spokesman said ``the allegations are completely baseless and unfounded.'' ``If any specific complaint of phone tapping or implicating an Opposition leader is brought to the notice of the Government, it will certainly be looked into,'' he said.
