5 RSS leaders in Kerala given central security cover
New Delhi(PTI):The Centre has accorded a Y category security cover to five RSS leaders in Kerala in view of possible threats to them, official sources said on Saturday.
The names of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders is understood to have been found on the radar of the Popular Front of India (PFI) after central probe agencies recovered documents in this connection during the recent crackdown on the Islamic organisation, which the Centre banned early this week.
The smallest category of central security cover-- Y-- has been accorded to the five RSS leaders based on inputs and recommendations provided to the Union home ministry by central investigative and intelligence agencies, sources said.
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) VIP security wing has been asked to render the task, they said.
About two to three armed commandos will be provided to each protectee as part of the cover, the sources said.
A similar cover has also been provided to Bihar BJP chief and MP from West Champaran Sanjay Jaiswal.
He was given a Y cover security in the wake of protests against him and other BJP leaders during the 'Agnipath' recruitment scheme launch in June. The cover was later withdrawn but has been restored now.
With the addition of these six protectees, the CRPF has been covering at least 125 people under its VIP security umbrella.

JDU leader resigns from party over its stand on Waqf Bill
Patna, April 3 (PTI): Senior JD(U) leader Mohammed Qasim Ansari on Thursday resigned from the party and all his posts, criticising the party's support for the Waqf Amendment Bill, which was passed in the Lok Sabha despite widespread opposition.
In a letter to JD(U) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Ansari expressed deep disappointment, saying the party’s stance had shattered the trust of millions of Indian Muslims who believed JD(U) would uphold secular values.
In his letter to Kumar, he said, "Millions of Indian Muslims like us had unwavering faith in you as a flag bearer of a truly secular ideology. However, that belief has now been shattered. The stand taken by JD(U) on the Waqf Bill Amendment Act 2024 has deeply shocked millions of dedicated Indian Muslims and activists. We are extremely disheartened by the manner in which Lallan Singh delivered his speech and supported this bill in the Lok Sabha."
