CRPF Replied To Rahul Gandhi Over Security Issue, Ahead Congress Wrote To Union HM Amit Shah

CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) has said in its rebuttal to the Congress charge of breaches in its leader’s security during December 24 march. During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi broke security protocols on several occasions during the Yatra in the national capital, they added.

CRPF Response To Congress Party

CRPF responded just a day after Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Congress leader alleged that Delhi Police has completely failed to ensure and protect the safety of Rahul Gandhi’s security during the Yatra in the national capital.

Congress party has sought a proper security for the leader including the Z+ cover, when the Bharat Jodo Yatra enters the sensitive zones of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.

Also, they said that it is rebuttal that security arrangements for Mr. 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.

All the security guidelines were strictly followed on the day of the march. Delhi Police informed that sufficient deployment of security personnel was made, they added.

Protocols Broken By Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi

While slamming Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi on breaking the security protocol, they said, “Security arrangements made for the protectee works fine when the protectee himself adheres to the security guidelines laid down. However, it is pointed out that on several occasions violations of laid down guidelines on the part of Shri Rahul Gandhi have been observed and this fact has been communicated to him from time to time.”

Moreover, CRPF cited that Mr. Gandhi has broken protocols 113 times since 2020. “It may further be mentioned that during Delhi leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra. The protectee has violated security guidelines and CRPF will be taking up this matter separately,” they added.

The Congress had yesterday alleged that Delhi Police, which comes under the Home Ministry, had “completely failed in controlling the surging crowd and maintaining a perimeter” around Mr. Gandhi during the march on December 24.
