Following the security breach inside Parliament, Lok Sabha MPs described how the incident unfolded inside the House.
Speaking outside Parliament, Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury spoke about the security breach,
He said “Two young men jumped from the gallery and something was hurled by them from which gas was emitting. They were caught by MPs, they were brought out by security personnel."
"The House was adjourned till 2 pm. This is certainly a security breach because today we observed the death anniversary of people who sacrificed their lives in 2001,” the Congress leader said.
Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Dimple Yadav says, "All those who come here - be it visitors or reporters - they don't carry tags. So, I think the government should pay attention to this. I think this is complete security lapse. Anything could have happened inside the Lok Sabha..."
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram says "Suddenly two young men around 20 years old jumped into the House from the visitor's gallery and had canisters in their hand. These canisters were emitting yellow smoke. One of them was attempting to run towards the Speaker's chair.
In a security breach, two people entered the Lok Sabha Wednesday and opened tear gas canisters. They also jumped into the Well, shouting, and have been detained.
