Two persons jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery on Wednesday and opened tear gas canisters, causing a significant security breach. Televised footage shows members attempting to apprehend the invaders as they climbed from desk to desk. Both Houses were quickly adjourned.
During Zero Hour, one person was observed leaping over the Lok Sabha benches, while another was seen dangling from the public gallery spraying a yellow-colored gas.
BJP member Rajendra Agrawal, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.
Recounting the incident, Leader of Congress in 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, (and) 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.”
In a post on X, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said, “Saw two young men unleash foul smelling yellow coloured gas from canisters inside Parliament gallery. MPs rushed to grab these men. One person was raising some slogans. This raises serious questions on another aspect of the new Parliament building- security.”
Meanwhile, two other persons, Neelam, 42, and Amol Shinde, 25, were held by local police outside New Delhi’s Transport Bhavan, where they were protesting with yellow smoke.
