Congress gives adjournment motion notice in LS
Nov-19-2019

An adjournment motion notice has been given by the Congress in the Lok Sabha (LS) over withdrawal of Special Protection Group (SPG) protection of party president Sonia Gandhi and party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Digvijaya Singh, Senior Congress leader has said, ‘I strongly condemn the decision of withdrawing the SPG cover of the Nehru-Gandhi family which has been subjected to attack by terrorists and two of our most precious leaders Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi lost their lives’. He added ‘You recollect that earlier government also had withdrawn the security of Rajiv Gandhi and what happened to him later. That was a lesson which they should learn and immediately take back their decision. After all, this family has given three prime ministers to the country. I think they deserve full security cover. This decision should be withdrawn by the government’.

On November 8, the SPG cover of Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was removed. The government has decided to accord them Z+ security.
