BJP requests EC to issue advisory to states on security threat to Modi

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday requested the Election Commission to issue a serious advisory to all the states regarding security threat to its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and other star campaigners.

The BJP has been claiming that some of its top leaders are on the radar of terrorists.

The BJP has even cited the recent arrests of Indian Mujahideen and Fidayeen terrorists in Delhi, Rajasthan and Varanasi to back its claims.

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, however, had denied any threat to the opposition leaders, adding that he will look into the claims.
