Left parties on Monday lashed the government for providing armed commando cover to Mukesh Ambani when the common people faced such a lack of law and order.
“It is unprecedented that at a time when such ghastly and gruesome incidents of rape are taking place and people are demanding more security, Z security is given to Ambani and the commoners left in the lurch,” said senior CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia.
Veteran CPI leader A B Bardhan said at a time when the “police force is unable to ensure safety to women, and even five-year-old girl children are raped, the government has ordered Z security for the country’s richest corporate tycoon and even protection for his sprawling residential building.”
“Our party demands the government order be rescinded and the CRPF be sent back for their primary task,” Bardhan added, saying, “It is a matter of shame for this government and shows for whom it works. Mukesh Ambani has all the resources at his command to provide security for himself and his establishments.”
