Parliament security breach | Parliament will be stalled till Home Minister speaks: Congress

Both Houses of Parliament will continue to witness disruptions until Home Minister Amit Shah makes a statement on the December 13 security lapse that allowed two visitors to intrude into the Lok Sabha chamber, the Congress said on December 15, even as it accused Mr. Shah of “contempt of Parliament”.

Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee headquarters, party general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh asked why Mr. Shah could not speak in Parliament when he could talk about it at a media conclave.

Mr. Ramesh said that the collective stand of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) partners was that the Home Minister should come to both Houses of the Parliament, make a statement and take questions on the issue.
