Why Z class security to 'private businessman' Mukesh Ambani, SC asks govt
FirstpostA day after hitting out at the CBI, the Supreme Court on Wednesday hauled up the government over the flailing security situation in the capital. New Delhi: Centre’s decision to provide Z security to Mukesh Ambani drew flak from the Supreme Court on Thursday which asked why such persons are given security cover by the government when the common man is feeling unsafe. “If there is threat perception then he must engage private security personnel,” the bench said adding, “Private businessmen getting security is prevalent in Punjab but that culture has gone to Mumbai.” The bench, however, said that “We are not concerned about the security of X,Y,Z persons but about the security of common man”. Government’s decision to provide Z category security for Ambani had evoked sharp criticism from Left parties following which it was clarified that he will foot the expenses for this estimated to be Rs. The business tycoon is the new entrant to the ‘Z’ category VIP security club after the Union Home ministry had recently approved an armed commando squad following threat perceptions.
