In the aftermath of the security breach at the Parliament on December 13, a heated political exchange has emerged between the ruling BJP and the opposition. The Opposition accuses the BJP of mismanagement, while the BJP points fingers at Congress, claiming the accused were Congress supporters.
Accused individuals, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, were found with entry passes bearing the name of Mysuru MP Pratap Simha. Other arrested suspects include Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, while an absconding suspect, Vishal Sharma, was later apprehended in Gurugram. Another suspect, Lalit Jha, remains at large.
BJP leader Amit Malviya, in response, shared an old video of Neelam Azad expressing support for Congress in a protest rally. Malviya referred to Neelam as an ‘andolanjeevi’ (protest-loving) and questioned the motive behind selecting someone from Mysore to obtain a Parliament pass from a BJP MP.
The political landscape intensifies as questions arise about the involvement of the accused with Congress and the purpose behind defying Parliament on December 13. The Opposition refutes these claims, asserting that the BJP is creating a diversionary narrative.
Karnataka Congress leader Lavanya Ballal Jain stated, “Imagine if any of the people who breached Parliament’s security was a Muslim. Imagine if the passes were issued by opposition MPs.”
As the controversy deepens, the focus shifts to the Opposition’s allegations and the government’s response, leaving the political arena charged with tension.
