As an elected MLA Gill was entitled to have security cover and an official government vehicle, an Innova car. When he received a call about these, he declined to take the car or security cover. Gill had stated, "I am against VIP culture. I had written a letter requesting not to provide security, but the local police sent a few security personnel. But I don’t take them along. I will again ask them to take back the security personnel. I am a common man and don't need security". The Tribune reported that Gill is seen moving in his Wagon R car without security detail.[5]
