Rahul Gandhi broke security protocols on several occassions: CRPF
Rahul Gandhi broke security protocol on several occasions during the Delhi leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra, central paramilitary force CRPF has said in its rebuttal to the Congress charge of breaches in its leader’s security during the December 24 march.
The central force’s response came a day after Congress general secretary KC Venugopal wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that Delhi Police had completely failed to ensure Mr Gandhi’s security as the Yatra passed through the capital. The party sought proper security for the leader, who enjoys Z+ cover, when the Yatra enters the sensitive zones of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
The CRPF has said in its rebuttal that security arrangements for Gandhi are made by the CRPF in coordination with state police and other agencies. The force said that an Advance Security Liaison for the December 24 event was held two days earlier. An Advance Security Liaison refers to a meeting of security agencies to plan a VIP’s security for a major event.
The CRPF said that all security guidelines were strictly followed on the day of the march and Delhi Police informed that sufficient deployment of security personnel was made.
