Somnath asks Chidambaram to withdraw his security cover

In a letter to Chidambaram, Chatterjee, who now mostly stays in Kolkata, said whenever he visits Delhi, he had seen some security personnel put on duty in front of the guest accommodation provided to him temporarily.

"May I request you to have the matter looked into so that the security personnel may be withdrawn as, I believe, I am not entitled to be provided with such security nor have I asked for it," he said in the letter.
