Speaking to reporters after inspecting the venue and arrangement of rally at local Dana Mandi on Hoshiarpur Road, Singh said since Sonia Gandhi was having Z-plus security, it was the duty of the state government to co-operate with the Special Protection Group for ensuring foolproof security.

"We have don it for PM and Deputy PM," he said.

So why Akalis are making a fuss when the state government is doing so for the security of Sonia Gandhi?, he asked.

"My road show a couple of days back at Jalandhar and Kapurthala was not violation of the election code of conduct," he said.
