So, can we say that the history is repeating itself? Well, we don’t hope so.
And for this sake, Sonia Gandhi along with her two children, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have been given SPG protection, which means Special Protection Group, which is the highest level of security in the country, they will guard all the former prime ministers and their families. Along with this, they also want the Central Government to investigate the threats and find out the main culprit.
