The hue and cry being raised by the Telugu Desam Party leaders over the conduct of security check for party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at Gannavaram airport on Friday is totally unwarranted.
It is nothing but natural for anybody to feel pity for Naidu to undergo security check and take the bus from the lounge to the plane like any other passenger.
For a person who held the post of chief minister of the state for three terms, it is very humiliating to face such a situation.
But the airport security authorities have done their duty and have not imposed any restrictions only for the sake of Naidu.
In fact, even when former chief ministers like N Kiran Kumar Reddy or K Rosaiah travel by air, they, too, undergo all the process of security check and bus travel.
As a matter of fact, even Naidu did not create any fuss about it, because he knew rules. He quietly underwent security check and travelled by bus to the flight.
But, the TDP leaders felt very bad about their boss being frisked and checked in the same airport, which Naidu had taken special interest to develop.
The security authorities have clarified that only those VIPs having protection from Special Protection Group are exempt from routine security check and get access to travel by car from lounge up to the tarmac.
Naidu does not have SPG cover, but is protected by National Security Guards (NSG).
So, there is no need for anybody to make fuss about alleged humiliation to Naidu. And the state police will anyway take care of the protocol needs of the former chief minister!
