Taking to X, Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said, “It has been exactly a week since the very serious security breach in the Lok Sabha shocked the nation. The Prime Minister, Home Minister and the Lok Sabha Speaker say that an investigation has started.”

He questioned, “So be it. But why is it that even after 7 days the BJP MP Pratap Simha who facilitated the entry of the two intruders into the Lok Sabha has NOT yet been questioned?”

He elaborated, “This is a very bizarre situation as the intruders themselves have been charged under the anti-terrorist law UAPA.

They ignited smoke bombs while shouting 'tanashahi nahi chalegi' (dictatorship will not be tolerated) slogans.
