Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Friday raised concern about unemployment, suggesting a possible link with Wednesday’s Lok Sabha security breach incident. The Congress MP questioned the suspects being reportedly unemployed, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi must look into it.

“Unemployment is a very big issue. Why Unemployed Youth are being driven for such desperate Act on the day Parliament was attacked by terrorists is something which all politicians and particularly PM Narendra Modi must deliberate,” the former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh wrote on X, sharing a graphic from HT.

On the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, a major security breach occurred when two intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber during Zero Hour on Wednesday.

The men leapt into the house holding gas canisters. They released yellow gas and shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.

Visuals depicted a man jumping from the visitor's gallery of the Lok Sabha as members discussed urgent public matters, with BJP MP Khagen Murmu addressing, resulting in brief commotion.

Simultaneously, two others, including a woman, sprayed coloured gas and shouted slogans outside the Parliament premises.

The Delhi Police Special Cell has filed a case under sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against six individuals apprehended in connection with the incident.
