The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) was on Wednesday asked to launch a security review of Parliament as members of Opposition at an all-party meeting demanded a through probe into the incident of two persons jumping into the Lok Sabha chamber and also sought action against BJP MP Prathap Simha who felicitated their passes.
The communication from Lok Sabha Secretary General to Special Secretary (Home) came as Speaker Om Birla convened the all-party meeting in which members from different parties flagged a variety of issues and raised security concerns in Parliament's new building, more so as the security breach happened on the anniversary of the 2001 terror attack on the institution. Government sources, however, played down the chances of any serious
action against Simha, saying it is a routine practice for MPs to write for passes for people and
they cannot be blamed for their conduct.
