An unidentified man jumped from the visitor's gallery of the Lok Sabha into the chamber on Monday while the Winter Session was progressing. Another was seen dangling from the gallery and spraying some tear gas, said reports
They were overpowered by the members and the watch and ward staff. The Lok Sabha was adjourned following the commotion.
In a video, one person can be seen leaping over the benches of the Lok Sabha. Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said another man was seen dangling from the public gallery spraying some tear gas.
"This is certainly a security breach because today we observed the death anniversary of people who sacrificed their lives in the 2001 (Parliament attack)," Chowdhury said.
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."
