Congress, VCK condemn Parliament security breach and suspension of Opposition MPs

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri on Friday criticised the security breach in Parliament, where miscreants threw coloured canisters, and slammed the suspension of Opposition MPs when those who were killed in the Parliament attacks in 2001 were being remembered.

In a statement, Mr. Alagiri sought a response from Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai, who had alleged that law and order had deteriorated in the State after a petrol bomb was thrown in front of the Raj Bhavan (Governor’s residence) gate in Chennai recently.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is following an anti-democratic approach in politics, which is paving the way for such attacks. It makes a mockery of Indian democracy and lowers the prestige of our country,” he said.
