“He had something in his hand which was emitting yellow-coloured smoke. I snatched it away and continued throwing it outside…This is a major security breach…,” Cong MP said while speaking to press outside the Parliament complex.
Earlier in the day during Zero Hour, two men from the visitors gallery jumped into the House amidst the lawmakers and then started hopping on the desks. While the lawmakers looked at it in disbelief, some of them took lead and nabbed those carrying ‘smoke bomb’ with support from security personnel.
Notably, the shocking incident of Lok Sabha security breach comes on a day when the nation is observing 22th anniversary of 2001 Parliament terror attack. The attack was led by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists and was confronted by security personnel. In the fierce gun fight, 9 people including 8 security personnel lost their lives.
Probe revealed that the Pak-based terrorists had intentions of either eliminating country’s top leadership or keeping them hostage for some days.
