Digital Desk : Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to receive threats via several social media platforms, a latest threat to his life post the sensational security breach at Punjab, has set the security preparedness into a whirlwind debate. A Khalistani outfit has issued a direct threat to PM Modi, stating that it won’t allow him to unfurl the tricolour on Republic Day.
The Khalistani group has also announced a reward of Rs 1 million for anyone who can disrupt PM Modi’s flag unfurling event.
Recently, PM Modi was forced to wait with his convoy on a flyover for over 20 minutes due to blockade by protesters.

The Supreme Court has in the meantime constituted a panel to probe the entire incident.
Meanwhile, the latest threat of disrupting PM Modi’s programme on Republic day, comes from a Khalistani group who goes by the name “Sikhs for Justice”.
