As The Wire had reported, Mauritius has been rocked by political reverberations following the resignation of Sherry Singh, chief executive officer of Mauritius Telecom (MT), at the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving office, Singh went public with allegations that he was forced to give officials from a foreign country access to the landing station of an internet cable connecting South Africa to Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Jugnauth responded that an Indian technical team had been allowed access to \u201csurvey\u201d, but that there was no physical intervention to monitor the internet traffic.<\/p>\n<p>In the parliament proceedings on Tuesday, July 19, the leader of the opposition, Charles Gaetan Xavier-Luc Duval, demanded an inquiry by a select committee into the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister rejected it on the grounds that there was an ongoing investigation into a police case filed by him against Sherry Singh, a former member of his close circle. So far, Sherry Singh has been summoned by police for questioning four times.<\/p>\n<p>Another opposition lawmaker, Reza Uteem, had also submitted a question about the qualifications and terms and conditions of the appointment of Kumaresan Ilango as NSA of Mauritius.<\/p>\n<p>Reading out the educational qualifications of the 1982 batch Indian Police Service officer, Jugnauth added, \u201cHe has also served at a high level in the field of security, including research and analysis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He also stated that after Mauritius\u2019 request, the Indian government had proposed Ilango\u2019s name. \u201cAs a result of that, he was appointed the National Security Adviser\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ilango, who retired as second-in-command in India\u2019s external intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), joined as Mauritius NSA last year.<\/p>\n<p>He is the latest in a long line of retired Indian security officers who have occupied the post for nearly four decades. The first one had been Major General J. N.<\/p>\n<p>Tamini, the Indian army\u2019s chief liaison officer with RAW, whose appointment had been requested after the 1983 election win by Aneroodh Jugnauth, the father of the current prime minister.<\/p>\n<p>In a supplemental question, Uteem asked if Ilango had advised Jugnauth to order the Mauritius Telecom CEO to allow access to foreigners to the landing station without due process.<\/p>\n<p>Without directly responding to the question, the Mauritian PM replied, \u201cMr Speaker, Sir, there is a Police enquiry which is underway. This matter, of course, will be dealt with by the Police during its enquiry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition also asked whether the government was aware of allegations published in the media about Ilango\u2019s role in Sri Lanka and his reported recall to New Delhi in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The MEA had then stated that the RAW officer\u2019s return was a routine matter. The prime minister claimed that these reports were based on speculation. \u201cThese are supposedly just press statements.<\/p>\n<p>Now, press statements can publish anything they want; but this is not proof. I can come with other press statements also to show certain things with regard to Members of the Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>So, then, you will ask whether that is proof? This is not proof,\u201d he stated. When the opposition asked why an Indian was made NSA even after 54 years of Independence, Jugnauth accused them of \u201cIndia bashing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do not we appoint a Mauritian? So, why do not we appoint an Indian as National Security Adviser? Why is it? What have you got against India?\u201d asked the Mauritian PM.<\/p>\n<p>He asserted that there \u201ccannot be any reason not to appoint an Indian national, and for that matter, any other national as National Security Adviser, except when there are proven facts that are based on due diligence\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Jugnauth repeated that there was nothing against Illango. \u201cAs I have just said, it is regretful that some people in the Opposition are indulging in systematic India-bashing to pursue their sinister agenda!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier during his verbal sparring with the leader of the opposition, the Mauritian PM had pointed out that the Chief Technical Officer of Mauritius Telecom had \u201cin a written report confirmed that no sniffing or other equipment had been installed at Baie Jacotet Landing Station\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
