The matter of breach in Parliament security is not going to calm down. Even today, there was a lot of hue and cry in the Upper House of Parliament regarding this. All opposition parties including Congress demanded the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah.
These parties say that Amit Shah, as the Home Minister, should give a statement in both the houses on this unfortunate matter and tell what steps the government has taken for the security of the Parliament and also what action was taken on yesterday’s incident.
What did Kharge say?
“The security breach that took place in Parliament today is a very serious matter. We demand that the Home Minister should come to both the Houses and give a statement on this. The question is, how did two people come inside such a big security department and release gas from a cannister there?,” asked Kharge.
Over suspension of 15 opposition MPs from the parliament, Kharge wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Having endangered National Security and the safety of the temple of our Democracy — the Parliament, the BJP is now shooting the messenger. The suspension of 15 opposition MPs from the Parliament because they wanted a discussion on the grave security breach is SUSPENSION OF DEMOCRACY ! What is their crime ? Is it a crime to urge the Union Home Minister to make a statement in the House ? Is it a crime to want a discussion on the perilous security breach ? Does it not invoke draconian shades of dictatorship, a hallmark of the present dispensation ?”

Security Breach in Lok Sabha
In fact, during Zero Hour in Parliament on Wednesday, two persons jumped from the public gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber and created an atmosphere of chaos by carrying out a smoke attack there. When the MPs tried to catch the accused, both of them started raising slogans. At the same time, outside also, a young man and a woman sprayed gas outside the Parliament complex, raising slogans of ‘dictatorship will not work’.
