Chaos erupted in the Rajya Sabha as MPs attempted to disrupt proceedings, prompting the involvement of security forces. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju emphasized that security matters fall under the remit of the House Chair, not the government.
Opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the presence of CISF personnel in the House, deeming it an infringement on MPs' rights to protest. This comes amidst ongoing disruptions since the Monsoon session began.
Incidents of intruders in Lok Sabha have heightened security concerns, leading to stricter measures. Rijiju assured the Chair's involvement if opposition parties raise issues while advising MPs to respect others' rights during parliamentary sessions.
