Manmohan Singh’s death deeply personal loss: Sonia
Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Friday said the death of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a “deeply personal loss” as he was her friend, philosopher and guide.
Unhappy with the government’s decision to revoke the Special Protection Group (SPG) from the security cover given to Gandhi family including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Assam MP Pradyut Bordoloi on Monday gave an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha on the first day of the winter session of Parliament.
The matter is being discussed in the business advisory committee of the Parliament.

The Congress has criticized the move, terming it as a part of government’s ‘vendetta politics’. The Union government had removed the SPG security from Gandhis and provided them with the Z plus category security.
