New Delhi, January 9

The BJP on Sunday questioned Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for discussing the issue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security breach in Ferozepur on January 5 with Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asking whether she held any constitutional authority to be apprised of the sensitive matter.

“A sitting CM briefs Priyanka on the PM’s security! Why?” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra asked today. He further queried what constitutional post Priyanka held.

“Who’s she to be kept in the loop regarding PM’s security?” Patra asked.

Earlier, CM Channi had said he had constituted a probe committee on the PM security lapse after conversation in this regard with Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Top Congress sources on Sunday denied any conversation between CM Channi and Sonia and said the CM spoke only to Priyanka. The BJP questioned the propriety of a CM discussing the PM’s security issue with his party’s general secretary.
