SPG pulled up for not escorting Sonia

August 27, 2013 17:26

The Special Protection Group (SPG) came under severe criticism today for not being on their toes when Sonia Gandhi was walking towards her vehicle after she felt unwell in Parliament last night.

Questions are being raised about why there was no escort to take her to her car. Why was there no women SPG deployed inside Parliament to help her? Why wasn't a wheelchair available?

'After Narendra Modi's tweet: "Concerned that basic medical
emergency procedures were not used. Would have been better if
wheel chair or stretcher was used in Parliament", the entire SPG force was given a dressing down by its Director.
