SPG bill not to target Gandhis: Amit Shah in Parliament

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill, 2019 have not been introduced to target the Gandhi family.

"SPG law not being amended keeping in mind the Gandhi family. Threat and security cover should be delinked; SPG cover should only be for head of state. Security cannot be status symbol. Why this clamour for SPG," Amit Shah said in reply to SPG Amendment Bill debate in Rajya Sabha.

Amit Shah said if anyone it was PM Narendra Modi who will be impacted by this amendment as cover will be withdrawn after five years of his ceasing to be the Prime Minister.
