VIP/VVIP security has lost that ‘necessity’ touch. It’s merely an act...
It is obnoxious that common men are even prevented to walk on the pavements and traffic brought to a halt when politicians pass by. Currently, over 300 persons are considered VIPs in Delhi alone, engaging nearly 9,000 police personnel! Various RTI requests reveal that around one lakh police and paramilitary personnel are deployed to guard VIPs. To make matters worse, expenses on the Special Protection Group for VVIPs exceeded the set target by a whopping 16%! Sample this: immediately after Samajwadi Party and Congress patched-up, SP leader Amar Singh (who was under no security threat, whatsoever) was provided the highest level of security.
Yes, security is a need, but one can’t have the nation running around politicians! It’s really the politicians who are meant to protect the nationals. And why get elected in the first place, when you’re pigeon livered?!
