["She also said that as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by her own security guards, she feel scared of her guards." That's highly significant. In view of the fact that while she is not recognised as the wife of the Indian Prime Minister in any meaningful manner and consequently is given no customary privileges that go with that position and yet round the clock "security" is provided with no such request from her end - in fact despite written protests from her, one can hardly shake off the feeling that this is only meant to keep an eye on her, her activities and the people she meets - an intrusive surveillance programme. But she herself has gone further beyond. That can hardly be ignored.]

File photo Narendra Modi's wife Jashodaben had asked the government to explain the definition of protocol and sought details about what is included under it and what other benefits she is entitled for as per that protocol. File photo Police say information on the security cover to her is related to local intelligence bureau which is exempted under RTI Act. Information sought by Jashodaben, wife of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the security cover given to her through an RTI has been denied by the Mehsana Police on the ground that her queries were related to local intelligence bureau which is exempted under RTI Act. "The information sought by her (Ms. Jashodaben) was related to the local intelligence bureau (LIB), therefore it could not have been given to her and we have sent a written communication about this development to her," Superintendent of Police J.R. Mothaliya of Mehsana district said. The reply given in writing to her also says the same thing. "The information sought by you (Jashodaben Modi) was related with the LIB and as per the Gujarat Home Department's resolution number SB.1/1020018203/GOI/62 dated November 25, LIB has been exempted from RTI Act and therefore the asked information cannot be given to you," said the letter written by the public information officer and Mehsana Deputy Superintendent of Police Bhakti Thakar to her. In her RTI application filed before Mehsana Police on November 24, 2014, she had sought several documents related to the security cover given to her as per the protocol, including the certified copy of actual order passed by government about providing security. She also wanted to know the laws and related provisions in Indian Constitution about security cover given to a Prime Minister's wife. The 62-year-old Ms. Jashodaben had asked the government to explain the definition of protocol and sought details about what is included under it and what other benefits she is entitled for as per that protocol. She also expressed unhappiness about the current security set up, where her guards travel in government vehicles like car, while she, despite being a Prime Minister's wife, has to travel in public transport. ***She also said that as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by her own security guards, she feel scared of her guards*** [emphasis added]. She asked the government to make it compulsory for each guard to produce the copy of deployment order. Ms. Jashodaben, a retired school teacher, lives with her brother Ashok Modi at Unjha town of Mehsana district. After Mr. Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister on May 26, she has been given security by Mehsana Police. Mehsana Police has deployed 10 policemen, including armed guards, who work in two shifts. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
