Parliament Winter Session / Major lapse in security of Parliament, two persons jumped into the House from the audience gallery

Parliament Winter Session: The winter session of Parliament is going on and the security of the Lok Sabha was breached on Wednesday. During the proceedings, two unknown persons jumped into the house and started spraying something. As soon as he jumped, the opposition MPs created a ruckus. MP Danish Ali said, prayers started rising suddenly. He claimed that the name of a person is Sagar. Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned after the incident.

Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav said that whoever comes here – whether they are guests or journalists – they do not keep tags. Therefore, I think the government should pay attention to this. I think this is a complete security lapse. Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said that suddenly two youths of about 20 years jumped into the House from the audience gallery and had canisters in their hands. Yellow smoke was coming out from these canisters. One of them was trying to run towards the Speaker's chair.

The Congress MP further said that they were raising some slogans. This is a security lapse. Especially on 13 December, the day Parliament was attacked in 2001. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhary said, two youths jumped from the gallery and something was thrown by them due to which gas was coming out. The MPs caught him and the security personnel took him out. The House was adjourned till 2 pm. This is definitely a security breach because today we observed the death anniversaries of those who sacrificed their lives in 2001 (Parliament attack).

Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan said that two people jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the audience gallery and took out something from their shoes, due to which the gas started spreading. He said, what kind of gas was this, was it not a poisonous gas? We are seeing very serious flaws in the security of Parliament. In this way, someone can come with a bomb in his shoe.

Hassan said such security lapses need further attention. This incident of lapse in security of Parliament has happened on the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament in 2001.
