Two individuals jumped from the gallery of the Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of parliament, on Wednesday. They threw tear gas canisters, causing chaos and panic among the members and staff present.
The incident occurred during the ongoing winter session of Parliament. According to eyewitnesses, the two individuals, who were disguised as visitors, suddenly jumped down from the public gallery and started throwing tear gas canisters. The smoke from the canisters filled the chamber, forcing MPs and officials to scramble for cover and evacuate the premises.
The identity of the individuals has been revealed as Amol Shinde and the lady Neelam. They had concealed tear gas canisters within their boots, highlighting a significant lapse in security measures.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for a complete overhaul of the security procedures in Parliament. The authorities have initiated an investigation to ascertain the motive behind the individuals’ actions and identify any possible accomplices. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for enhanced security measures to ensure the safety and security of Parliamentarians and the democratic process.
