BJP senior leader Arun Jaitley, blogs on the Centre's decision to probe the Amit Shah tapes. Here's what he says:

"The Central Government has announced the setting up a Commission of Inquiry to probe the allegations of alleged snooping by the Gujarat Government.  This action is politically motivated. 

The Congress Party has not learnt from the drubbing it got in the elections recently. 

It has continued with its strategy of fighting Narender Modi  not politically but through investigative agencies and now through a Commission of Inquiry.

The Gujarat Government has already set up a Commission of Inquiry to inquire into this issue. 

The setting up of a parallel Commission  by the Central Government ostensibly on the pretext of this issue  covering more than one State is without any basis. 

This action legally is a suspect and liable for challenge. 

I am sure it will be legally challenged in courts. 

The setting up of this Commission  violates the federal structure of the Constitution.  It is an affront to the States.  I hope other Chief Ministers also join in the protest against this action."
