New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra may be stripped off his VVIP status and even the Z+ security cover, if the latest media reports are to be believed.
The newly formed Modi government at centre has hinted towards the same. Vadra has been provided with a special status and high profile security cover even though he doesn’t hold any kind of constitutional post in the country.
There are reports that the Home Ministry will scrutinize the security cover provided to the 25 VVIPs, which also includes the name of Vadra.
He also enjoys freedom from frisking at all the airports in the country. His name is duly mentioned along with other VVIPs in the list of dignitaries inlcuding PM and President at airports.
A controversy had raked up about two years back regarding the same issue.
Everyone should undergo regular frisking at airports: Centre
Civil Aviation minister Ganapati Raju said on Thursday that every Indian citizen should undergo regular frisking at the airports for their own safety.
Speaking on the issue BJP spokesperson MJ Akbar said that it’s strange to learn that Vadra was allowed to escape frisking at airport s during the last 10 year rule of the UPA.
Congress leader Akhilesh Pratap Singh has said that it’s the ruling government’s prerogative to scrutinize security status of the VVIPs.
