Guidelines on VVIP security not new: Home Ministry
New Delhi, June 27: The Home Ministry on Wednesday said that the guidelines issued by it concerning the security of VVIPs were not new and do not contain any specific reference to ministers or other dignitaries.
The Ministry said in a press note that no new restrictions have been added through these guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and only the laid down protocols have been reiterated.
The clarification came in the wake of media reports that new stringent guidelines had been issued concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security and that state governments had been apprised of tighter security measures including prior clearance for Ministers to enter the Prime Minister's proximate detail during his travels.

Devendra Fadnavis plays video of Islamic scholar at Pune rally, harps on 'vote jihad'
Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.
It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.
"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.
"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
