PM Modi speaks on Parliament security breach, says what happened in Parliament is very serious
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his first remarks on the Parliament security breach, has dubbed the incident as “very serious” and said that a detailed probe should be carried out to find out which elements are behind it.
The Prime Minister said that the seriousness of this incident should not be downplayed.
“The (Lok Sabha) Speaker (Om Birla) is taking all the necessary steps. Probe agencies are investigating the matter. It is important to find out which elements are behind this and what their objectives are. There is no need to debate this, there should be a detailed investigation into this,” Modi told Dainik Jagran newspaper in an interview.
On December 13, on the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, two people jumped from the visitor’s gallery of Lok Sabha during the Zero Hour proceedings and also sprayed yellow colour smoke.
They were caught by the MPs and security personnel and handed over to Delhi Police. Delhi Police also arrested two more people from outside Parliament.
Till now six people have been arrested in connection with the case.
The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had witnessed several adjournments on Thursday and Friday over the opposition demands. Fourteen MPs — 13 from Lok Sabha and one from Rajya Sabha — were also suspended for raising the security breach issue in the House for the remainder of the session.
