Jaipur: Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) chief and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal on Friday claimed that his security cover has been reduced. He asserted that he never sought protection from the state government.
Background of the Security Cover
Beniwal stated that the security was provided to him during the SI recruitment protest movement, following intelligence inputs that indicated a potential threat to his life. The protest movement had garnered significant attention, and Beniwal played a prominent role in it.
Questioning the Withdrawal
Questioning the reduction of his security cover, Beniwal said that only the government could explain the rationale behind this decision. He emphasized that he had not requested any security from the state authorities initially, and the cover was provided based on threat assessments.
Beniwal's remarks come amid ongoing political tensions in Rajasthan. The RLP chief has been a vocal critic of the state government on several issues. The reduction in security cover has raised concerns among his supporters, who view it as a politically motivated move.
When asked for details, Beniwal declined to specify the exact nature of the security cover reduction but reiterated that the government must clarify its actions. He also urged the administration to ensure the safety of all political leaders without discrimination.
The state government has not yet officially responded to Beniwal's claims. However, sources indicate that security reviews are routine and based on updated threat perceptions. Beniwal's allegations are likely to spark further debate in the political circles of Rajasthan.
