New Delhi: Suspended IAS officer from Gujarat, Pradeep Sharma, has appealed to the Supreme Court seeking the investigation against him be transferred. Sharma has filed a writ petition seeking the investigation against him be transferred to the CBI or any other agency. 
 
Sharma says there is pressure from the Gujarat government against him. Sharma has alleged that he was transferred by the Narendra Modi government as he was aware of the snooping against the woman at the centre of the controversy. 
 
Senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan has informed the Supreme Court that there are important developments that have taken place and that he has to attach an application on the same in the case and put it on record. 
 
BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's key aide and former Gujarat minister Amit Shah has been accused of snooping on a young woman using state machinery in 2009 in Bangalore. 
 
A Cobrapost-Gulail report claimed to have accessed taped conversations which are in the CBI's possession, which claimed that Amit Shah ordered police surveillance of a woman, allegedly on the orders of a certain 'saheb'. 
 
Not missing the opportunity, the Congress launched a scathing attack on Modi and asked Shah whom he was referring to as 'saheb' in the taped conversations. Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said that if the woman was being protected at the behest of her own father, as Shah said, why wasn't the threat to her assessed and why wasn't private security used? 
 
"If surveillance is being mounted in such a way then this amounts to breach of privacy," Tewari said. "Are people ok if their mothers and daughters are being snooped upon by the state machinery," he added. 
 
JD(U) too joined the Congress in targeting its erstwhile ally over the alleged surveillance of a young woman by Shah. Party leader KC Tyagi said, "BJP demands high-level enquiry and resignations in every case. Saheb is Modi himself, the matter should be probed and Modi should step down till the report of the enquiry comes out." 
 
The BJP retaliated strongly, asking how these tapes were made public, and how people who are not in the government got hold of the recordings. Party leader Meenakshi Lekhi said, "I would like to put Manish Tewari in the shoes of a father protecting his daughter, then he wouldn't be able to speak this kind of language."
