Jammu, July 13: The legislators, who were Ministers in PDP-BJP coalition Government were set to lose their security cover.
Govt ordered to downgrade security cover of former Ministers to the level of MLAs/MLCs. Authorities have directed implementation of the order on withdrawal of security cover of former Ministers within two days.
However, they will continue to get security cover provided to the legislators as the Legislative Assembly has only been kept under suspended animation by the Governor and not dissolved.
However, Legislative Assembly Speaker Dr Nirmal Singh, who was formerly the Deputy Chief Minister, would continue to get security cover provided to the Speaker. Similarly, Legislative Council Chairman, Haji Inayat Ali of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Assembly Deputy Speaker Nazir Ahmad Gurezi, will too get security cover as per their entitlements.
