The Prime Minister is not just a person but an institution and in democracy, if such institution becomes weak then it is not good, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday. His remarks came a day after a”major lapse” in the security of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Punjab on Wednesday.
Rajnath Singh was in Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand to address a public rally during the closing ceremony of ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’. Speaking on security lapse in the PM’s security in Punjab, the minister said that he has never made baseless allegations.
“PM Narendra Modi was in Punjab where Congress is in power and his security was compromised. It is utter shameful that Congress people are saying bad words about him.” Rajnath Singh asked the crowd in the rally not to forgive Congress for the act they have done with PM Modi and asked people for support to re-elect BJP in the state.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to visit Ferozepur on Wednesday to lay the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth more than Rs 42,750 crore.
The Home Ministry said in a statement that around 30 km away from the National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when the Prime Minister’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protesters.
