Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha expressed serious concerns on Friday regarding the security breach that occurred in the Lok Sabha on December 13, coinciding with the anniversary of the 2001 terror attack. Chadha emphasized the significance of the Parliament building as the supposed safest structure in the country, raising essential questions about the overall safety of India.
Chadha urged the government to conduct a thorough discussion in Parliament to address the breach. He questioned the efficacy of the multi-layered security checks and sought clarification on who permitted the individuals behind the incident, emphasizing the importance of adherence to security protocols.
Advocating for a comprehensive inquiry into the incident, Chadha stressed the necessity of promptly presenting a detailed report. He underscored the collective demand of non-BJP Members of Parliament for a discussion on the security breach, emphasizing the need to establish accountability for the safety and security of the Parliament.
Chadha called for the Home Minister and relevant security agencies to provide an explanation, ensuring transparency and instilling confidence in both the nation and Members of Parliament. He posed a critical question about the overall security of the country and whether such a significant breach could occur within the supposedly secure Parliament.
Rejecting accusations of engaging in partisan politics, Chadha asserted that seeking answers from the government in the face of a security breach was a matter of national concern. He highlighted the need for accountability and transparency, particularly given the breach's occurrence in a building considered the epitome of safety in India. Additionally, Chadha expressed deep concern over the intruders' ability to smuggle in smoke cans, questioning how such an act could transpire despite stringent security measures in place.
