Parliament security breach a grave issue
Security breach was evidently visible on 13th December by two visitors sitting in the Parliament chamber gallery. They jumped into the Lok Sabha house from the visitors’ gallery in the evening session carrying grapeshot emitting harmless yellow colour smoke that created horror among the inmates. A total five persons involved in this incident were caught by Delhi police. Naturally, opposition parties claim that it is a grave lapse of Home Ministry. The persons who caused the havoc were possessing visitors’ passes. The solace is that none was injured in this unfortunate affair.

Just a one day after the incident it is being circulated that it is not an extremist incidence but these young people were unemployed and were demanding justice. Even some farmer unions had extended their support to these young unemployed persons. Also, sympathisers of these unemployed persons are also comparing this incidence with that of Bhagat Singh as these persons had not done any physical harm to anyone but they had just awakened a common man for the problems being faced by a common man.

Parliament building is undoubtedly a crown jewel, often considered among the most secure places globally. The security breach has exposed a significant flaw in what was otherwise thought to be an extremely robust security system. This incident, a blot on the face of our security establishment, unfolded just hours after the entire Parliament paid tributes to the martyrs of the 2001 Parliament attack – on a day when heightened security would have been expected. The breach raises serious questions and is a glaring failure that demands accountability.

A significant security breach occurred on Wednesday when two people intrude into the parliament and opened yellow gas from tins, and created chaos situation, besides raising slogans against MPs. We could not learn lessons from past experience. As we know exactly 22 years ago, a terrorist attack took place on a parliament. It shows the vulnerability of security protocol.

The nation’s conscience was disturbed with the security breach in Lok Sabha on Wednesday as two intruders entered with some canisters in their customised shoes. It is not the question whether the coloured smoke contained poisonous chemicals that could harm to the people in the house, but how the intruders entered the house which is known as high security area with five-fold security round the clock. Further, is there any link with the 22nd anniversary of attack on Parliament or is it a mere coincidence? The government must take it seriously and assure the nation that such incidents would not recur in future.

EPF 1995 pensioners’ woes continue
Despite many Senior Citizen Days and Fundamental Rights Days, the poor and highly neglected EPF 1995 pensioners agitations since 2005 have not made even an iota of impact on the dumb, deaf and mute Union government. Over a decade, many MPs raised this crucial issue in Parliament, but the stock reply by Labour Minister was that matter was referred to the SC. The EPFO challenged the SC orders of 2015 and 2017, and the matter lingered i SC. The SC’s final order of 4.11.22 was only a bookish review and redtape. It only reviewed its earlier orders, but totally ignored the crucial issue of hike in minimum pension. Courts and judges are eloquent in sermons that pension is not charity, but a right and it is a deferred wage. Neither the government nor the courts help these EPF 1995 pensioners, who have been getting only Rs 1,000 pm since 2014. No medical aid, ESI, CGHS, Ayushmanbhava are allowed. Who will rescue them, govt or the god?
