Parliament Security Breach Happened Due To Unemployment: Rahul Gandhi Breaks Silence

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has finally broken silence on the Parliament security breach as he slammed the government's policies for the incident.

Gandhi claimed that unemployment and inflation due to the Modi's policies are the reasons behind the Parliament security breach. "The security breach has indeed happened. But the point is, why did it happen? The main issue is unemployment. Owing to Modi ji's policies, the people of India are not getting employment," India Today quoted the Wayanad MP as saying.

In a shocking incident, two youths jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by the MPs on Wednesday. The incidents came on a day when the nation is observing the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack.

The accused are identified as Sagar Sharma, D Manoranjan, Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, Vishal Sharma and mastermind Lalit Jha.

    Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge urged the BJP government to pay attention to the serious issues and urged the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to give a statement on the incident in the Parliament. He said, "They (BJP) are not ready to let the House function. This is not a good thing for democracy but there is no point in talking to people who do not believe in democracy."

    The Opposition MPs created ruckus in the Parliament over the issue and fifteen MPs were suspended for the remainder of the winter session for disrupting the House proceedings over the Lok Sabha security breach issue.

    Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Friday informed a city court that the people involved in the security breach wanted to create anarchy in the country in order to compel the government to meet their demands.

    Police suspect the involvement of foreign funding as the way the accused made the planning and visited Delhi multiple times to do the recce of the act.
