Union Minister Karandlaje seeks thorough probe into Parliament security breach

Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje on Thursday sought a thorough investigation into the security breach at Parliament and strict punishment against the offenders.

”Our request is that there should be a thorough investigation and offenders should be punished,” Karandlaje told reporters. Karandlaje, a BJP MP from Karnataka, is in charge of two ministries — agriculture and food processing industries.

In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on Wednesday, two persons — Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D — jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow smoke from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by the MPs.
