PALANPUR (Gujarat): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben on Monday sought details through an Right to Information application about the security arrangements that she and other family members of the PM are entitled to as per protocol.Jashodaben Modi, who lives in Brahmanwada village near Unjha, sprung a surprise when she turned up at the office of Mehsana district superintendent of police and submitted a RTI application. Of late, she has become active in social life and has been seen attending events, while expressing her desire to stay with the PM in Delhi.Citing Indira Gandhi’s assassination, Jashodaben demanded all the details of her personal bodyguards saying that she and her family members are “very scared” of them. In her three-page letter, where she calls herself Modi’s wife five times, she has also asked for certified copies of all the orders pertaining to the security provided to her as per the protocol.Talking to TOI, Jashodaben alleged that her security guards were demanding that they be treated like “guests”. “When I ask them to show the orders under which they are deployed, they don’t have any answers,” she said.At present, the 62-year-old retired teacher has six special protection guards (SPG) who have been provided with a vehicle so that they can follow her wherever she goes. But Jashodaben herself has no car of her own and neither does her brother Ashok Modi, with whom she lives.She also stated in her application that the information sought should be provided to her within 48 hours as it pertains to “life and death.”Gujarat’s junior home minister Rajnikant Patel, when contacted, said, “I’ll ask for a report on the matter and act as per the merit of the application.”
