Tara Chand surrenders, takes back security 5/9/2014 11:45:32 PM Mustansir SRINAGAR, May 9: In what could be embarrassing for the coalition partners, senior Congress leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand today afternoon surrendered his security in protest against what the Congress sources termed insult to the person and portfolio of the Minister. Source said the surrender took place after his bullet proof vehicle was allotted to another Minister. Chand has surrendered the security in Kashmir as well in Jammu and is presently at M A Road residence. When contacted Deputy CM termed the reports as mere rumours and denied having surrendered the security at his Srinagar and Jammu residences. "These are just rumours and nothing else," Tara Chand told ET on phone from Jammu. However, officials in the security wing of Jammu and Kashmir Police refused to comment on the issue. "Deputy CM is in Jammu, he was here but has gone back to Jammu," said a senior security official while avoiding a direct reply to the question as to whether the senior Minister has surrendered his security. But sources said that Tara Chand initially surrendered the security in protest but later he took it back on the request of the senior police officers.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
