Red Fort is not high security area: Fernandes

Presence of market in the campus and the light and sound programme being conducted there every day were factors which need to be considered afresh after the shoot-out inside the Red Fort on December 22.

Talking to reporters in Mhow on his arrival from Jhabua enroute to Delhi, Fernandes said anybody can sneak into the Red Fort from the Yamuna river side as the boundary wall was very low.

In fact, militants used that side to escape after killing three men in the premises, he said.

In reply to a query, Fernandes denied that ceasefire had led to collapse of internal security system and said people misunderstood the meaning of ceasefire.

The minister also denied reports that armed forces were not consulted before extending the ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir by another month.
