New Delhi| Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced strict standards for other leaders from his foreign tours. During long foreign trips, when Air India One (Prime Minister’s special aircraft) stops in between to refuel (technical halt), the Prime Minister does not stop in a hotel but in the lounge of the airport. Whereas earlier the protocol was that during the technical halt, the hotel was booked for the Prime Minister to stay.

Home Minister Amit Shah gave this information in Lok Sabha on Wednesday. He said that till today Modi has not given instructions to book a hotel for himself during a technical halt in any country. “He stops at the airport, take a shower and leave after refilling the fuel.”

The staff stays with the Prime Minister in bus and car too

During the discussion on the Special Protection Group (SPG) Amendment Bill, Shah said that the Prime Minister has also reduced the staff going abroad with him. Now about 20% of officers go with him less often. Apart from this, separate vehicles were earlier arranged for the Prime Minister’s staff. But Modi has made changes in it. Now his staff of 4-5 people accompany him in the same car or bus.

Some people associated security with prestige

Shah said, “While the Prime Minister adopts strict standards for himself, there are some people who have attached their security to prestige. They were taking advantage of the security provided to the Prime Minister.”

During the discussion, the Home Minister took a dig at the Gandhi family and said, “If they have got SPG protection, then what is the nature of work abroad that they leave the security at home? Rajnath Singh ji is sitting here. Many times, black-clad commandos leave him to the restroom but he never says anything. If there is protection, what is the harm in keeping it with them? ”

‘Rahul Gandhi has broken SPG security cover many times’

Home Minister said that three Congress leaders have been given Z + security of CRPF. They should keep the soldiers with them. Shah said that since 2015, Rahul Gandhi has been out of Delhi 1892 times and 247 times abroad without SPG protection. Members of the Gandhi family have made more than 600 trips without informing the SPG.
