Blockage of PM's convoy politicised

A purely security lapse on the part of those responsible for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's safety on his visit for political rallies in Punjab is sought to be politicized to entirely blame the non- BJP State government!

For one man whose security costs many crores, travels in a bullet proof car and who has the arsenal of the country's agencies which he is using, including the armed forces and assets at his disposal, this lapse is not acceptable!

Will a fair and impartial inquiry bring out the facts, establish those responsible and may heads roll accordingly?
