Bureau,Odishabarta

Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday said it is the duty of every Government to provide fool-proof security to the Prime Minister of the country and anything contrary to it is unacceptable in a democracy. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Ferozepur had to be cancelled due to a security lapse after some protesters blocked a route and forced his convoy to spend about 20 minutes on a flyover. The Prime Minister was en route the National Martyrs’ Memorial at Hussainiwala when the incident took place.

The security lapse has created nationwide outrage with many condemning the serious lapse on the part of Punjab Government.

Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan appreciated Naveen for his concern for the Prime Minister’s security.
