The Shiv Sena on Thursday hailed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for setting up a panel to conduct a probe into the Pegasus snooping row, saying she has done something which the central government was supposed to do.

An editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ''Saamana'' criticised the Centre for not paying heed to the opposition''s demand of setting up a joint parliamentary committee for a "detailed inquiry" into the snooping controversy.
