PATNA: Union Minister of Steel, Chemicals and Fertilizer Ramvilas Paswan on Saturday advised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati not to take lightly the threat to AICC general secretary and heir-apparent of the Congress Rahul Gandhi from Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist group.
''From reports in the media I have come to know that the Uttar Pradesh government is saying Rahul Gandhi was not on the Jaish's hit list.
I suggest Mayawati not to take the matter lightly and do everything possible to provide fool-proof security to Rahul Gandhi,'' he told reporters.
Three Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists arrested in Lucknow with a cache of firearms including AK 47 rifles, ammunition and RDX yesterday were claimed by the police to have planned to abduct Rahul Gandhi.
