Congress MP Shashi Tharoor Criticizes Home Minister’s Handling of Security Breach: Calls for Parliamentary Accountability

On security breach incident, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, “(Union) Home Minister gave the statement to the media, not to the House of which he’s a member. This is supposed to be a parliamentary system and parliament is in session. The first place to which any government, minister is accountable is parliament. He should have come here and spoken that could have diffused the entire crisis… He should come here and tell the people, if he had spoken to the MPs, given his point of view, I’m sure this whole crisis could have been diffused. This is escalating only because of the stubbornness of those involved. And I must say, it’s an unnecessary thing. We have important issues to discuss in parliament.”
