Om Birla wrote this in the letter

Om Birla wrote in this letter, you all are well aware that such incidents have happened many times in the past in our House. The entire country has been witness to incidents like visitors bringing pistols, shouting slogans, jumping from the audience gallery and throwing pamphlets inside the House. The country has also seen such incidents when some honorable members came inside the House with pepper spray. At the time of every such incident, the House has shown solidarity and expressed its determination to oppose them in one voice. The security of the Parliament complex falls under the jurisdiction of the Parliament. Therefore, whatever action plan we make on the subject of security, it will be made in consultation with all of you and on the basis of your suggestions and after that it will be implemented by the Parliament Secretariat itself.
