Massive Security Breach at Lok Sabha, Two Intruders Enter House, Release Smoke
A purported security breach was reported in the Lok Sabha as two men entered the House while proceedings were underway for the Winter Session on Wednesday, 13 December.
In the visuals on Sansad TV, a man wearing a blue jacket can be seen jumping over benches in the House. Pictures shared by DMK MP Dr Senthilkumar show yellow smoke inside the House.
Rajendra Agrawal, who was in the chair, immediately adjourned the session.
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said: “This is a massive security breach. They could have had anything in their hands, they could have had tear gas canons. They were wearing jeans.”
The intruders are yet to be identified. An official statement from the Parliament is yet awaited.
Two other individuals – a man and a woman – were detained outside Parliament, also with coloured smoke canisters that exploded and spewed red and yellow smoke.
Serious questions are already being questioned about the security breach, which comes on the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on the old Parliament building.
