Terrorist’s targetting senior BJP leaders, Intelligence report

NEW DELHI:Two Pakistani and two Lashkar-e-Toiba militants had reportedly left Jammu on January five to carry out attacks on BJP President Rajnath Singh and senior BJP leader Vinay Katiyar reports PTI citing intelligence agencies.

The Union Home Ministry has written to Uttar Pradesh Government asking it to “review and appropriately strengthen” the security arrangements of both of them to avert any untoward incident from happening, sources said.

The intelligence inputs suggested that terrorists may carry out attacks on Singh and Katiyar in Uttar Pradesh or in Delhi at an “opportune time”, a letter sent by Union Home Ministry to Uttar Pradesh government said.

Senior BJP leader L K Advani and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi are already in the terror hitlist and have been provided with tight security and NSG cover in view of the threat perception.
