Pioneer News Service | New DelhiÂ
The Centre is yet to enhance the security cover to Leader of the Opposition LK Advani, who is high on the hit list of terror groups.
The BJP had to postpone the Vijay Sankalp Yatra of Advani after National Security Advisor MK Narayanan briefed the senior leader about the "threats" faced by him and advised to take "extra precaution".
<b>Advani had been a target of terror for long but the Government had "specific inputs" this time, which forced the party to do a rethink on its yatra plans. </b>
Sources close to Advani told The Pioneer that no change has been brought about in the security cover to him and at his Prithiviraj Road residence. "There might be some plan at the Ministry level, but it has not been implemented on ground. The situation remains the same," he said.
While Government admits Advani faced major threats, it claims the security cover to him was foolproof. Official sources said that the Ministry of Home Affairs recently reviewed the security cover to the senior BJP leader and found that he was "well-guarded".
"There is no need to enhance security arrangement, which, in Advani's case, is satisfactory. We will continue to review the security arrangements frequently," the MHA official said.
Advani enjoys Z + security cover, which includes the elite NSG commando. "It is the biggest security cover provided to a person. There is no scope for improvement," an MHA official said.
