Rahul Gandhi Violated Protocols 113 Times: Says CRPF After Congress Claims Security Breach

CRPF also pointed out that the Congress MP has violated security guidelines 113 times since 2020 and the same has been communicated to him. 

New Delhi: The Central Reserve Police Force on Thursday alleged that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi violated the security guidelines, during his Bharat Jodo Yatra, in response to the claims of security lapses made by Congress party, which the CRPF has ruled out. 

“Violations of laid down guidelines on the part of Rahul Gandhi have been observed on several occasions and this fact has been communicated to him from time to time,” the CRPF said in a statement. 

On Wednesday, the Congress wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging "security breaches" during the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in the national capital and demanded immediate steps to ensure the security of Rahul Gandhi and others taking part in the yatra.

“Security arrangements have been fully made for Rahul Gandhi. It may be pointed out that during visits of the protectee the required security arrangements are made by the CRPF in coordination with state police and security agencies,” the CRPF responded to Congress’ letter. 

“Delhi leg of Bharat Jodo Padyatra for 24th December ASL involving all stakeholders was conducted on Dec 22. All security guidelines have been strictly followed and Delhi Police has informed that sufficient deployment of security personnel was made,” it added.
