Govt Must Answer Who Will Resign for Lapse: Congress on Conman Posing as PMO Official

The Congress on Saturday expressed concern over the case of a swindler posing as a PMO official, saying if the government was serious about the country’s security, it should clarify who would resign for the lapse.

Kiran Bhai Patel from Gujarat has been arrested by the police from a five-star hotel in Srinagar for posing as “Additional Secretary” in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and enjoying security cover apart from other hospitality.

Police said on Friday that he has three cases registered against him in his home state.

In a press conference, the head of the media and propaganda department of the Congress, Pawan Khera, said that this is a very serious matter related to the security of the country and the government is probably not focusing on such matters because it is the “best friend of the Prime Minister”. busy protecting”.

“If anyone questions the Modi government, he is a traitor. Which country’s interest are you serving? Kheda said that if you are even a little serious about the security of the country, then tell me who will resign in this matter at the political level?

“We have three essential questions – can a PMO officer get Z+ security, should Z+ security be given and can Z+ security be obtained so easily. It is very important to know from which level the instruction to give security to a thug came?

Congress general secretary KC Venugopal criticized the government over the matter, saying that the BJP uses nationalism for its petty politics, but in reality a BJP worker can fool the entire J&K security apparatus and kill a high-ranking official of the PMO. Can pretend to be an officer. Four months.

“Who is responsible for this huge national security lapse in such a sensitive area, Modi and Shah,” Mr. Venugopal said in a tweet.

Khera said that in a sensitive area like Jammu and Kashmir, a person has been deceiving the security forces for five months and taking Z+ security is roaming in such areas where ordinary citizens cannot go, raising questions on the intelligence system of the government.

He said that the government should answer whose resignation would be taken for this lapse.

The Congress leader alleged that the ruling party has such a toolkit that the person asking questions is a traitor while a person gets Z+ security by printing fake cards of the PMO.

According to court documents, Patel was on his third visit to the Kashmir Valley and was later apprehended by alert security officers on March 3.

Patel had claimed that he was given a mandate by the government to identify buyers for apple orchards in south Kashmir and some IAS officers were in awe of him as he was dropping names of high-ranking bureaucrats and politicians in the national capital. Were. Ask PTI NSD SMN SMN
