India’s parliament witnesses chaotic scenes as two men invade chamber

In India’s parliament, there was a lot of confusion when two men came into the chamber and shouted and sprayed colored gas.

Pictures show members of parliament and security officers trying to catch someone who broke in, and is seen jumping from one table to another.

Politicians said the two people jumped from the visitors’ area into the center of the house. We don’t know why they are doing it.

The reports say that the men were stopped by security and taken by them.

The event happened while politicians were meeting in the Lok Sabha, which is the lower part of India’s government. Both houses took a break for a little while before they started again.

“We are looking into the issue and have requested the Delhi Police to help with the investigation,” said Om Birla, the speaker of Lok Sabha.

Two more people – a man and a woman – have been arrested for protesting outside the parliament by using colorful gas canisters. The police were seen taking them away.

Two people jumped down from the audience area and there was smoke. There was a lot of confusion and disorder everywhere. Security officers were too strong for both of them,” lawmaker Danish Ali said to reporters outside of the parliament.

The security breach happened on the 22nd anniversary of a serious attack on India’s parliament where 14 people, including five attackers, were killed.

Earlier today, President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and other leaders honored the victims of the attack.

Karti Chidambaram, a member of parliament from the Congress party, said he was waiting to speak when everything became chaotic.

All of a sudden, it seemed like someone had fallen from the balcony where the visitors sit. Then we figured out that he purposely jumped into the well. There was someone else, and both of them took out containers that were giving off yellow smoke,” he said.
