Besides, he alleged that there is a "Dirty TricksDepartment which is active, operate from the PMO. They aretargeting Leaders in the Opposition. We have said it inParliament, we are saying it again". "They are tapping phones, keeping Opposition Leadersunder surveillance, keeping senior Judges, senior Officials ofGovernment of India under surveillance and the phones aretapped" "He is running a Presidential form of authoritarianGovernment with neither the check of Presidential form ofGovernment which are there in those countries which have aPresidential system nor the checks and balances of Cabinet inParliamentary system", Sharma insisted.
