PM ‘Security Lapse’ : Case In Supreme Court; Probes Ordered By Centre, Punjab Govt.
The Punjab police is also being blamed for not ensuring the smooth passage of the Prime Minister’s convoy, which got blocked and left the Prime Minister stuck on a flyover for over 15-20 minutes on his way to Hussainiwala in Ferozepur district.
Home Ministry, State Government Form Separate Probe Panels The Home Ministry and the state government of Punjab have formed their own committees to investigate the alleged ‘security lapse’. A three-member panel consisting of Sudhir Kumar Saxena, Secretary (Security) in the Cabinet Secretariat as head, with Balbir Singh, Joint Director of Intelligence Bureau, and S Suresh, Inspector-General of SPG has been formed by the Home Ministry. A two-member panel comprising of retired Justice Mehtab Gill and Principal Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs, Anurag Verma, formed by the Punjab government, will also probe the matter. Allegations And Refutations By BJP And Congress The BJP has released what it says are “memos” of the Punjab police in which the last-minute changes in the route due to being blocked by protestors and bad weather making the PM’s travel by helicopter unfeasible. Supposedly, the memos asked the cops to “make necessary diversion plans”.Today’s Congress-made happening in Punjab is a trailer of how this party thinks and functions. Repeated rejections by the people have taken them to the path of insanity. The topmost echelons of the Congress owe an apology to the people of India for what they have done.
