New Delhi, Jan 7: Following the alleged security breach during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Punjab, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sent a show-cause notice to the Bathinda Senior Superintendent of Police on Friday, requesting him to respond within a day.
Archana Varma, Deputy Secretary to the Centre, has stated in the letter that “since there was grave security lapse during PM Modi’s visit, the Bathinda SSP is directed to ‘show-cause’ as to why action should not be initiated against him under the law including disciplinary action under All India Services (Discipline and Appeal), Rules, 1969, the acts of omission and commission.”
The protesting farmers were warned by the Ferozepur SSP on Thursday, according to Bhartiya Kisan Union (Krantikari) that PM Narendra Modi’s cavalcade would pass along that route on Wednesday. They had been asked to clear the route near the flyover on which the cavalcade was stuck for nearly 20 minutes, but the protesters thought the SSP was lying.
