    BJP leader Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said she was "disappointed" with the briefings of Home Minister P Chidambaram on the issue of security of young party MP Varun Gandhi.

    "...I can tell you that I am not satisfied with whatever he had said. Rather I am disappointed," Swaraj told reporters after meeting Chidambaram in New Delhi.

    The BJP leader, however, refused to disclose the details of her meeting with the Home Minister saying "what transpired in the meeting was between me and the Home Minister, I am not going to disclose it. At least, I would like to respect the sentiments in which the letter was written.

    "But I have requested him one thing. If he accedes to that then it will be better," she said without elaborating.

    Asked about her accusation against Chidambaram of making public the letter written to her by him, she said "As far as my allegation is concerned (leakage of the letter), he himself accepted it. I told him that it was not a leakage, but it was officially uploaded in the website".

    On Wednesday, Swaraj had accused the Home Minister of making public a letter he (Chidambaram) had written to her regarding security arrangements for the 29-year-old leader.

    "He (Chidambaram) told me that many people were asking him what is his response to Swaraj's statement. He told them that he has written a letter to me and also told them that he has invited me for a meeting," she said.

    The Home Minister dismissed BJP's allegation of adopting a "lackadaisical" attitude on Varun's security, saying the MP has been provided adequate protection taking into account the inputs of the intelligence agencies.

    Security of VIPsBy: Jaspartap bath | 11-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Dear Sir,Vip security in India is fast becoming a menace which needs elimination.Terrorist threat is much more in countries other than India.But there is no security tamasha like that of India.The Politicians are spending crores on their elections so they should manage their own security.Actually security has become a status symbol with Politicians.Role of the State forces is more for the VIP security with nothing left with them for their own role of policing and checking crime and that is how the crime is on the rise.In a state like Panjab, roads are closed for hours together with the kaafla of Chief Minister and the self styled Deputy Chief Minister besides their status hungry Rishtedaars and other Politicians,all this at the cost of Public safety
    Varun security issue(contd)By: N.V.SANKARAN | 10-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Whether you like it or not, Varun Gandhi is an elected MP. What are the qualifications of Priyanka Gandhi and her husband Robert Vadra for whom the government is providing high security from the national exchequer? She is not even an elected leader.
    Varun security issue:By: N.V.SANKARAN | 10-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Most of the comments against Varun Gandhi in this column are based on the propaganda that Varun had actually made that alleged speech. He has time and again claimed that the CD was doctored and its contents were not entirely his own. While the Lakhnow Forensic Scientific Lab has said that the CD was not doctored, the Chandigadh FSL has said that the possibility of it being doctored cannot be ruled out. Nobody has any answer to the questions as to where was the CD during the 12 days from the date of the alleged speech(5th March) and the date on which its contents were broadcast. Nor there has been any explanation why there had been not even a minor protest in and around Pilibhit during those 12 days despite his alleged speech until the media propagated it. The fact that he won the election with such huge margin casts doubts about the propaganda against him. Does it mean that all those nearly 5 lakh voters of his constituency who voted for him despite the concerted propaganda against him were Hindu fanatics?

    VARUN's MISERYBy: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | 10-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Varun's problem may be more due to family feud. If he joins Congress Party perhaps his problem gets solved and becomes a hero. His loud laying during election meeting has not given room for any riot or destruction. Why he should be made to suffer. Such words are said by many in the past also.B S GANESH, BANGALORE
