(contd.)
"Are we sitting ducks waiting to be shot dead by Islamists or will you crackdown on them? @HMOIndia"
Maninder Singh, Sr.ADV: I have 2 submissions. It is not merely a law and order problem. It is squarely falling in the Special Protection Group Act #PMOIndia . Section 14 says “assistance to the group shall be the duty of every ministry of central or State Government”
Singh: This fell for your lordships consideration with regard to a former PM who was under trial for corruption and the place of the trial had to be shifted. Even if the PM wants to wave the protection, he cannot do that. He does not have the right #PMOIndia
