Moment two men open smoke canisters inside Indian parliament during ’major security breach’

Indian media reported a “major security breach” in parliament on December 13, as two men were said to have jumped from the visitors gallery and opened canisters releasing yellow smoke. Footage from Sansad TV shows a man running over tables in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament, before the broadcast cuts out. The incident took place on the 22nd anniversary of an attack on parliament by groups linked to Pakistan. Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram told ANI that “two young men around 20 years old jumped into the House from the visitors gallery and had canisters in their hand.” “These canisters were emitting yellow smoke. One of them was attempting to run towards the speaker’s chair,” he said. “They were shouting some slogans. The smoke could have been poisonous. This is a serious breach of security especially on December 13, the day when parliament was attacked in 2001,” he said.
