Delhi/Chandigarh, December 15, 2023 (Yes Punjab News)
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP ) Member Parliament from Punjab Raghav Chadha demanded an investigation and a discussion in parliament into the major security breach in Parliament on the anniversary of the 2001 terror attack and said that the government should hold a discussion about this matter in the parliament.
Chadha also raised questions about how the individuals passed multi-layered security checks, who allowed them in, and why security protocols were not properly maintained on the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attack.
Raising concerns over the major security lapse, the AAP leader said that the parliament building is supposed to be the safest building in our country. But if the parliament building is not safe then what about the rest of the country? Is India safe, he asked. He demanded that the incident be probed and a report tabled at the earliest.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, Raghav Chadha further said that today all the non-BJP MPs have one legitimate demand, that the discussion in parliament must happen on this issue and accountability for the security and safety of the Parliament must be fixed.
He demanded that the Home Minister of India and all the security agencies involved should address the matter, and that the government should hold a discussion about the security breach, informing the nation about what transpired and taking both – the nation and the Members of the Parliament into confidence.
Chadha said that holding the government accountable was not partisan politics, further adding that the government’s silence on the matter raises a lot of questions. “If Parliament is not secure, can the country be considered secure?”, he asked. Refuting the government’s allegations of “politics over breach,” Chadha said that seeking answers from the government does not amount to partisan politics.
“This is a matter of a security breach in the building, considered the safest in India. If we don’t seek answers from the government, then whom will we seek them from?” he asked. He also expressed deep concern over the manner in which the intruders were able to sneak in smoke cans, further questioning how they managed to do so with strict security measures in place.
