PM Modi Security Breach Latest News: President Ramnath Kovind has expressed concern on the security breach in Prime Minister Narendra Modi Punjab visit. PM met the President and briefed him about the entire issue.
In a major security lapse, the prime minister's convoy was stranded on a flyover due to a blockade by protesters at Ferozepur in Punjab on Wednesday. He returned from the poll-bound state without attending any event, including a rally.
"President Ram Nath Kovind met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today and received from him a first-hand account of the security breach in his convoy in Punjab yesterday. The President expressed his concerns about the serious lapse," a tweet from Rashtrapati Bhawan stated.
Taking into cognisance, the Supreme Court will on Friday hear a plea seeking a thorough investigation into the breach in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security in Punjab and ensuring there is no such event in the future.
