AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, who has been aggressively campaigning in Punjab, has sought withdrawal of police security provided to him.
In a letter written to Punjab Chief Electoral Officer V K Singh, he said, “I have noticed during my tours of the state that a large number of police personnel are deployed for my security which in my view are not required. I want withdrawal of the security provided to me.”
“Given the poor law and order situation of Punjab, all this security apparatus should be deployed for safety and security of people of the state,” the Delhi Chief Minister said.
“I request you to take a quick decision in this regard to restore the confidence of the people of the state during the crucial period of elections,” he said in the letter.
Kejriwal also mentioned in the letter that the candidates of Aam Aadmi Party had already made it clear that they did not require security in the wake of the Assembly polls.
