Security Breach in Indian Parliament on Anniversary of 2001 Attack
On the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, a major security breach occurred in the Indian Parliament when two unidentified individuals jumped from the visitors’ gallery into the Lok Sabha. They ran around the House, lit smoke sticks, and created chaos, surprising the MPs participating in the proceedings.
The incident led to the adjournment of the House, and the individuals were apprehended by MPs. The security lapse raised concerns among lawmakers, with some pointing to potential vulnerabilities in the new Parliament building’s security. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other MPs had earlier paid tribute to security personnel who lost their lives in the 2001 attack. The unidentified persons involved in the breach have been taken into custody for further questioning.
