Security Breach in Indian Parliament: MP's Office Issues Passes to Accused, Sparks Uproar
BJP MP Pratap Simha, who issued Parliament passes to the two accused responsible for the recent chaos in the Lok Sabha, met with Speaker Om Birla and explained that he had provided a visitor's pass to one of the accused at the request of the father, who claimed his son wanted to tour the new Parliament building. The accused remained in communication with Simha's personal assistant regarding the pass. Opposition parties are criticizing Simha for not conducting a thorough security check before issuing the passes.
