In an unprecedented breach of security on the 22nd anniversary of Parliament House attack, a youth from the visitors’ gallery jumped into the House chamber and started climbing up desks and raising slogans and the other dangled from the visitors’ gallery and sprayed some yellow-coloured fumes.
Soon enough, the second youth also jumped into the House chamber.
Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said one person came into the house and jumped around and the second person who was dangling from the public gallery of Lok Sabha, sprayed some kind of “gas” which caused irritation to the eyes.
TMC leaders Sudip Bandopadhyay and Kakoli Ghosh expressed shock saying the youth raised slogans.
“This is a second attack on Parliament. These were two youths aged 20 to 30. They had canisters in hands and sprayed fumes which could have been poisonous,” Congress leader Karti Chidambaram said.
Meanwhile, Police are learnt to have identified both the persons as Manoranjan and Sagar Sharma.
Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora and other senior officers visited the Parliament House complex to take stock of the situation.
The two youths have been detained and interrogation is on, security officials said even as the breach raised serious questions about security lapses in the new Parliament.
