PARLIAMENT – www.publictrustofindia.com https://publictrustofindia.com Odisha English News Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:40:23 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Huge security breach in Lok Sabha on Parliament attack Anniv as 2 with canisters jump from visitors’ gallery https://publictrustofindia.com/2023/12/13/huge-security-breach-in-lok-sabha-on-parliament-attack-anniv-as-2-with-canisters-jump-from-visitors-gallery/ Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:40:21 +0000 https://publictrustofindia.com/?p=7480 Bhubaneswar: In a major security breach on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament attack, two intruders jumped into the Lok Sabha from the visitors’ gallery and started running around the House with canisters that emitted a yellow-coloured smoke.

They were also chanting slogans such as ‘tana shahi nahi chalegi’ (dictatorship won’t be accepted). The House was adjourned soon after till 2 pm and the MPs were rushed out.

The duo has been detained and one among them identified as Sagar, India Today reported.

BJP MP Rajendra Agarwal, who was presiding over the Chair of Speaker when the incident took place, said, “There is a loophole for sure. When the first person came down, we thought he might have fallen but when the second person started coming down, all of us became cautious. The person tried to open his shoes and took something out after which smoke came out. Action will be taken against this. The Speaker and responsible people will make the decision on this. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also reached the House when all of this happened…”

Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said one person was dangling from the public gallery of Lok Sabha and sprayed “some kind of gas” which caused eye irritation.

“All those who come here – be it visitors or reporters – they don’t carry tags. So, I think the government should pay attention to this. I think this is complete security lapse. Anything could have happened inside the Lok Sabha…” Samajwadi Party’s Dimple Yadav told news agency ANI.

“It was a terrible experience. Nobody could guess what was their target and why were they doing this. We all left the House immediately, but it was a security lapse. How could they enter with instruments releasing smoke?…” questioned Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant said, “…Nobody got injured. When they jumped down, the benches at the back were unoccupied so they were caught…Two ministers were in the House.”

Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said, “Suddenly, two young men around 20 years old jumped into the House from the visitor’s gallery and had canisters in their hand. These canisters were emitting yellow smoke. One of them was attempting to run towards the Speaker’s chair. They were shouting some slogans. The smoke could have been poisonous. This is a serious breach of security, especially on December 13, the day when Parliament was attacked in 2001”

Security also detained a man and a woman who were protesting outside Parliament premises using colour smoke canisters, the media reports added.

Shashi Tharoor’s injury makes him realise that Parliament is not handicap-friendly. https://publictrustofindia.com/2022/12/21/shashi-tharoors-injury-makes-him-realise-that-parliament-is-not-handicap-friendly/ Wed, 21 Dec 2022 06:01:40 +0000 https://publictrustofindia.com/?p=1520 New Delhi: Congressman Shashi Tharoor, who hurt his left foot last week, arrived at the parliament on Tuesday in a wheelchair. On Twitter, Tharoor posted a photo of himself in a wheelchair along with a message on how inadequately prepared India is for individuals with disabilities.
There is just one ramped entry for wheelchair users at door 9, and it takes around four minutes to get to the Lok Sabha with support from attendants. I’ve learned how inadequately prepared we are to serve people with disabilities from this transient handicap,” the MP stated.
Since it was posted, Tharoor’s tweet has received more than 12,000 likes. His post struck a chord with many online users, and several pointed out that while the majority of the country’s crippled people must cope on their own, he at least had three aides to help him with his temporary ailment.
“Well, unless it occurs to them, nobody really really comprehends these problems. Not that I’m picking on you or anyone else, but at least you had help. Consider a 25-year veteran instructor who is handicapped. One user stated, “Everyday trekking up to the stairs to take lessons on the first floor.

“Sir, we have at least one entry in the parliament. Another person stated that numerous significant locations do not provide accommodations for people with special needs, such as train stations, airports, monuments, temples, and many others.
At least you’re informed now, sir,” a third user said in a comment. I encounter the same thing every day when I visit surrounding locations. Disability of any type requires both practical assistance and moral support. Not only should there be a suitable organisation for workplaces, restaurants, metros, parks, etc., a fourth said, adding, “Sad that you had to go through this to receive a reality check. Imagine the predicament of the average guy who must commute via local transportation to make a living. This is “Parliament.” There is no public transportation access for handicapped people, including those with various physical limitations.
