Bhagwant Mann’s act against norms of Parliament: Congress

“So, if the Parliament members are going to be involved in this kind of filthy things then it will not be good for the country. that’s why we are demanding the Speaker to punish him,” he added.

Mann’s act of shooting a video clip of Parliament House and later uploading it on social media rocked the Parliament on Friday as both the Houses were adjourned over the issue.

In the Lok Sabha, the BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress members besides others raised the issue of Mann. The BJP members demanded breach of privilege against the Sangrur MP.

The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day on Friday without transacting any legislative business as the House witnessed repeated adjournments on the issue of Parliament security breach.

There were heated exchanges between the opposition and treasury bench members on whether to hold a discussion in the House. The issue was raised by Naresh Gujral of Shiromani Akali Dal, who said there is a serious security threat to Parliament as sensitive places inside the complex have been posted on social media.

The opposition members said the government should have taken action against the MP immediately on Thursday instead of raising it in the House on Friday.

The House, which witnessed three adjournments in the pre-lunch session, reassembled at 2.30 p.m., to take up Private Members Business.

However, some of the ruling bench members trooped into the well of the House in support of their demand for a discussion. Taking note of the situation, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien adjourned the House for the day.
