This no doubt is an ideal situation to be emulated. But unfortunately even in Sweden, a Scandinavian country, Olef Palme its Prime Minister was shot dead while driving his car back home after watching a cinema. Probably after this incident, that country started providing security guards to its Prime Minister. As a sample Rajiv Gandhi during his first visit to the North east was driving the Maruthi Gypsy convertible with his family by his side, and no security guards at least inside the vehicle. Alas! that was probably before the Boffors scandal.

Various categories of security should be abolished.When they take oath of the office, this should be made part of the oath.Dr Nilesh Baxi 98200 85007
