On December 13, during the proceedings of the Lok Sabha in the winter session, two youths entered the House. Both the youths had jumped from the audience gallery. According to the MPs present at the proceedings, both the youths had tear gas canisters in their hands. Both the youths were caught by the MPs. After this both were handed over to the security personnel. In the video of Parliament proceedings, it can be seen that both the accused were moving from one bench to another. While running, a young man took out a spray from his shoe, yellow smoke started coming out from the spray.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said that by politicizing the issue related to security in Parliament, this serious issue is being unnecessarily politicized. He said at the party headquarters that not the opposition but the BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are politicizing the issue. He said that Delhi Police is under the Home Ministry and Delhi Police said in the court that this is a terrorist attack while the opposition is calling it an issue of security lapse, hence not the opposition but the BJP is politicizing it.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has blamed unemployment and inflation for the lapse in Parliament security. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Rahul said, ‘There has definitely been a security lapse but the question is why did this happen? The biggest issue in the country is unemployment. It is boiling across the country. Due to the policies of the Modi government, the youth in India are not getting employment. He said that due to the wrong policies of the central government, the youth are not getting employment.
The Congress leader said that the BJP government claims that the new Parliament building is the safest building in the world. A large amount of money has been spent on the construction of this Parliament building even during the economic crisis. He asked who was the MP who had given the pass to these youth. The bigger thing is that the MPs who raised their voice on the issue of security are being suspended from the House and nothing is being done against the MP who gave the passes to the youth to the Parliament House.
