Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - Security force personnel stand guard outside the parliament premises after a man jumped into the lawmakers' area of the lower house of India's parliament, in New Delhi December 13, 2023.
MUMBAI, Dec 17 — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a detailed investigation into last week’s major security breach of parliament, countering demands from opposition parties for a debate in the chamber on the incident.
“What happened is very serious,” Modi told the Dainik Jagran newspaper in an interview published today, his first comments on Wednesday’s breach. “There is no need to debate this, there should be a detailed investigation into this.”
Police arrested six people, filing terrorism charges against four, after a man jumped into the lower house chamber while members were in session, shouted slogans and set off a smoke canister. A second man tried to follow him. Both were caught by lawmakers and security personnel, and taken away.
