PRIME MINISTER ON VIP CULTURE Addressing the CSIF personnel in Ghaziabad, the PM hit out at the abuse of VIP culture: "The VIP culture is at times the biggest threat to security". He admitted that they throw their weight around, get angry at security checks, and humiliate and threaten security personnel merely doing their job. He called upon VIPs to be disciplined and cooperate with the security personnel. Around four years back, the Lal Batti on vehicles was banned, but not what goes with it! The VIP culture till date is thriving. In addition to arrogance and acting like Maharajas , this is a class repugnant to democracy and demeans the citizen, not to mention a complete waste of the nations resources and finances. The courts have had to issue orders to get them to vacate illegally occupied bungalows!The PM must follow up his admonition to VIPs,Gau Rakshas, loud mouth politicians and the like by strict action! Tolerating what he condemns, he loses credibility. Who will teach them the discipline he is talking about?Strange he has not yet seen fit to eliminated this "biggest threat to security" and banned the VIP syndrome long after the external symbols of red beacon were banned!
