The security breach also comes on the day flagged by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who, in a recent video message, threated an attack on Parliament on this day.
There was a huge security breach inside the Lok Sabha Wednesday. The breach was on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, in which nine people, including eight security staff, were killed and India was left shocked by a strike on the symbol of democracy.
The 2001 Parliament terror attack was carried out by two banned Pakistan-based terror groups - Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed - and five terrorists were killed.
Hours before today's incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla led a cross-party tribute to those killed in the 2001 assault.
