Cong downplays security breach incident at PM's house yesterday

New Delhi, July 28 (UNI) The Congress today declined to comment on the breach in security of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh where three persons in a car managed to pass through the first cordon into his official residence last evening.

''An inquiry is on. You have to wait. If it finds it was a fact, then it is a serious matter,'' Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said at the routine media briefing in the Parliament House.

However, he agreed that it involved a serious matter of national security. ''It needs to be looked into,'' he said.

Mr Singhvi also did not make much of the voices critical of the Congress-led UPA Government by the party members, the allies and the parties supporting the Government from outside, saying ''expression of individual views concerning price rise, which had agitated the minds of all the people in the country was, but, natural.

''It was natural for them to express concern over the price rise and the Congress itself had given expression to its concern on the issue,'' he noted.
