India Increases Security for Ministers Amid Rising Internal Threats

A report by The Indian Express reveals that the Indian government has instructed Delhi Police to bolster security for several key ministers and political figures, reflecting growing concerns over internal threats.

Indian media reports confirm that security has been increased for Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, Delhi Chief Minister, and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. Enhanced security protocols have also been extended to BJP leaders JP Nadda, Bhupinder Yadav, Nishikant Dubey, and Sudhanshu Trivedi.

A special meeting was reportedly held by Delhi Police to address the heightened threat levels facing BJP politicians. According to defense analysts, this sudden security surge is a response to public anger and growing unrest following the widely criticized and failed Operation Sindoor.

Experts have questioned why top Indian ministers need increased protection within their own borders, suggesting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aggressive policies and military posturing have backfired, leading to fear and instability at home. Critics argue that Modi’s “war madness” has not only escalated regional tensions but also created serious security concerns for the government’s own leadership.

The Indian government has remained tight-lipped about the specific nature of the threats, but the move to significantly increase political security highlights the fragile state of internal peace and public trust in the wake of mounting national and international criticism.
