IMPHAL: The BJP on Sunday slammed Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi over his briefing Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security and asked why she was kept in the loop regarding the PM’s security.Sambit Patra, the BJP spokesperson, said, “Punjab Chief Minister himself said that he had briefed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Prime Minister’s security issue. The question arises–why a sitting Chief Minister briefs Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on such sensitive issue like PM’s security. This is not the matter of Priyanka Gandhi. What constitutional post does Priyanka hold and who is she to be kept in the loop regarding PM’s security? Public want to know why a sitting Chief Minister briefs a party leader on such a sensitive issue.”He further said that the Gandhi family should give clarification on this whole issue.”Why was it a compulsion to keep Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the loop as far as security of PM is concerned? It is a serious issue. We firmly believe that the Gandhi family should come out clean on this. Gandhi family should give clarification on this whole issue,” he added.
