it's a welcome move by the Government..!
There are chances for misuse also..
you're kidding right ?
No he is not. I too whole heartedly support the move! We love this government and all their recent maneuvers to police us against the misguided thought that there is an alternative. Hopefully people of our nation who write slanderous posts about our leaders understand how much they care - they are investing (Rs.170 crore) for listening to what we have to say!

The tax department approached telecom providers to intercept a bunch of calls with high-profile people (Radia tapes) conducting money laundering, tax evasion, buying media influence, etc. These were leaked (presumably by the telecom providers). This was so high-profile that there was a near-total media blackout about it.
Embarrassed, the government has created a central system for tapping phones, taking telecom providers out of the loop. Now they can tap a phone without the telecom provider knowing about it.
The government is making it easier to tap phones without anyone knowing: that's bad.
The government is ensuring that, when they do tap a phone, it isn't leaked: that's good.
The government is only doing this because there is so much corruption that it's embarrassing when these are leaked: that's hilarious.
