New Delhi, February 21: The Government has scaled down the security of two more VIPs from a higher classification to that of normal and the Union Home Ministry showed no signs of relenting to pressures to politicians for providing security.
The security of MP Naveen Jindal and a former Parliamentarian Kuldeep Bishnoi has been scaled down from Z category (27 guards round the clock) to ‘X’ category (one PSO round the clock), official sources said.
The security of the two VIPs was discussed recently at a high-level meeting in the Home Ministry after which it was decided that there was no threat at all to the duo and that the high security given to them could be withdrawn.
Jindal, a Congress MP, represents Kurukshetra constituency in Haryana and Kuldeep Bishnoi is a former MP and son of known politician Bhajan lal of Haryana Janhit Congress party.
