The Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed a bill to amend the Act governing the elite-Special Protection Group (SPG). Home Minister Amit Shah rejected the opposition's charge of political vendetta and asserted that the government was concerned about the security of all 130 crore Indians and not just the Gandhi family. The Congress party heavily criticized the amendment and walked out of Rajya Sabha dissatisfied with Shah's reply.
