Kejriwal urges Punjab CEO to withdraw his security

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged Punjab Chief Electoral Officer to withdraw his security and deploy it for public security. In a letter to Punjab CEO VK Singh, Kejriwal said all Aam Aadmi Party candidates have already made it clear that they did not require the security provided to them by the government. "I have noticed that during my tour of Punjab, a large number of police personnel are deployed for my security, which in my view is not required. I want withdrawal of the security provided to me. Our clear position is that given the poor law and order in Punjab, all this security apparatus should be deployed for the safety and security of the people of the state," he wrote. He asked Singh to take a quick decision on the matter and restore public confidence during elections.
