In a major 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.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury 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.”
Today marks 22 years since the Parliament was attacked in 2001 by terrorist groups linked to Pakistan, killing nine security personnel.
This is a developing story. More details awaited.
