New Delhi | Union Home Ministry today responding to the Congress party letter over the breach in the security of Rahul Gandhi during his interaction with the media in Amethi said that the SPG informed the MHA that the “green light” shown in clipping was found to be that of a mobile phone used by AICC photographer.
Speaking on the media reports of Congress writing a letter to the Union Home Ministry related to the security concern of Rahul Gandhi, Ministry of Home Affairs replied saying,” We’ve not received any letter regarding an alleged breach in security of Congress Pres Rahul Gandhi.
