“Parliament Security Breach Sparks Political Turmoil: BJP Points Finger at Congress, INDIA Bloc Demands Action Against BJP MP”
New Delhi [India], December 14: The recent breach of Parliament security has escalated into a political battleground, with the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) asserting links to the Congress-Communist axis, while the INDIA alliance demands action against BJP MP Pratap Simha for allegedly providing visitor passes to the intruders.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Malviya took to social media to claim, “As details emerge, it is getting obvious that DNA of those who breached Parliament security is inextricably linked to the Congress-Communist axis. The kinds who were part of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and active participants in the orchestrated protests seen in the past…”
Simultaneously, the INDIA parties are pushing for a detailed statement by the Home Minister in both Houses of Parliament and strict action against BJP MP Pratap Simha. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh stated on social media, “The INDIA parties are demanding a detailed statement by the Home Minister in both Houses, followed by a discussion on the very serious and shocking security breach witnessed in the Lok Sabha yesterday. Strict action against the BJP MP Pratap Simha, who provided the visitor passes to the intruders.”
In response to the political tensions, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, “This is a very serious issue… You cannot brush this issue as some sort of protest by some exuberant youth… The canisters fortunately had only inert gas but could have had poisonous gas…”
Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha Secretariat has taken action against security lapses and suspended eight security personnel, identified as Rampal, Arvind, Vir Das, Ganesh Anil, Pardeep, Vimitt, and Narender.
The Lok Sabha session on Thursday was adjourned till 2 pm as opposition members raised slogans demanding the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla affirmed that the security of the House is the responsibility of the Lok Sabha Secretariat, urging caution in issuing passes for entry.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called for vigilance in issuing passes, stating, “Everyone has condemned this incident. You (Speaker) have taken cognizance of the matter. We have to be careful about to whom we issue the passes (to enter Parliament). All precautions possible will be taken in the future.”
In Rajya Sabha, opposition members demanded Home Minister Amit Shah to make a statement on the security breach. The Chairman mentioned a high-level probe and an FIR filed in connection with the incident.
Delhi Police arrested two intruders, Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma, and two others, Neelam Azad and Amol Shinde, outside Parliament, charging them under the anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has ordered an inquiry committee, led by Central Reserve Police Force Director General Anish Dayal Singh, to investigate the breach and recommend further action to enhance Parliament security.
