Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Thursday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Union government led by it should stop targeting members of the Gandhi family when it comes to their security.

His statement comes a day after the Congress wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging security breaches during Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra in the national capital and demanded immediate steps to ensure the security of Gandhi and others taking part in the march.
