PM Modi on Rape Cases: Correct Sons

[cloud_9]

Obama is a MUCH more sensible benchmark than David Cameron (or any Western European leader where he risks to their lives are so low). The level of security the President of the United States get is enormous but the security the PM of India now gets isn't far off (which is a good thing). The bulletproof glass concept for stages was actually first used for the president of America, maybe even Obama. As for not being able to live in a "cocoon", I'm afraid that is very much what these highly at risk leaders do have to do, the security agencies in charge of protecting them refer to it as "the bubble" though- an area of sanitised space around any protectee where they are as close to 100% safe as possible.

I'm sorry but if it was felt MMS needed such protection (the glass) then for sure Modi needed it (if not more so). He has to be very aware of the threat to him now, perhaps he will over time and is still in a CM mindset, but when you become the PM of India the risk to you goes up many fold so must the security measures.

Come on now, we are talking about protecting his life, he owes it to the millions upon millions who elected him to not take these things lightly.

I don't know if you read the recent article I put on here "a hundred foes, one force" about the SPG, but in it it is clearly outlined the risks to Modi and it is pointed out that Modi has already played dare with his security TWICE now outside India (Bhutan and Nepal) vis a vis stopping his cavalcade and getting out unsheculded to meet the general public.

Let me point something out, the most notorious head of state assassination- JFK, could have been avoided had the POTUS listened to the Secret Service, they had recommend and arranged two armoured limos for the trip to Dallas but JFK insisted on open tops so the public could see him in the run up to elections. We all know who was right in that situation.....

The job of the security agencies (SPG, RAW, IB etc) is to keep him safe, he should let them do their job and follow their instructions, they are professionals and damn good at what they do.

Well he surely needs protection but Indian's would appreciate if their PM was more approachable and for records,nobody was going to kill that robotic vacuum cleaner.

JKF killing is a different thing....the route was known and Oswald had plenty of time to plan things ahead.

I have read that piece although it was too spicy for my taste buds.Aren't the SPG guys supposed to react to different situations at the quickest ?These situations will surely show,how competent they are at doing their job.
