Goa police asks Parrikar to take Z security
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has been requested to accept Z security cover by the Goa police during his stay in the state. The request comes after the Islamic State purportedly signed a letter threatening to harm Parrikar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Parrikar had earlier dismissed the threat letter by saying, "It was [issued] on a 50 paise postcard."
