Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday slammed Left parties for alleging that the Modi government was bringing The Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill for political vendetta against the Gandhi family.

During his right to reply to the questions raised on the SPG bill, Home Minister Amit Shah said that Left had not right to talk about political vendetta. "In Kerela, more than 120 BJP-RSS have been killed just because of your political vendetta," Amit Shah told CPI(M) said in Rajya Sabha, referring to the Left-BJP violence in the communist party-ruled state.

When the Left MPs raised their objection and claimed that their workers have been killed in political violence, the home minister said that it happens during the Congress-rule. "That happens when the Congress comes and when left comes, but BJP workers always get killed," he said.

The Left and other opposition parties, including Congress, have alleged that the BJP-led NDA government has brought the changes in the PSG Act and have downgraded the security of the Gandhi family's three members - Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra -from SPG to Z-plus out of political vendetta. Home Minister Amit Shah, however, said that the security revision had nothing to do with the amendment as it was done on the basis of threat perception.

The Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill was passed in Rajya Sabha with a voice vote even as the Congress walked out of the Upper House expressing dissatisfaction over Home Miniter Amit Shah's reply.

The passage of the amendments to the SPG Act will pave the way for only the prime minister and his "immediate family residing with him at his official residence", as well as any former prime minister and members of his immediate family "residing with him at the residence allotted to him for a period of five years, from the date he ceases to hold the office of Prime Minister" to be given SPG cover.
