Union Minister Giriraj Singh Criticizes Opposition’s Politicization of Parliament Security Breach Investigation

On Opposition’s protest against Parliament security breach, Union Minister Giriraj Singh says, “The whole Parliament understands the gravity of the situation (parliament security breach). Even the Speaker has assured of action but only after due investigation is completed. Home Minister Amit Shah will answer each and every question when the time is right. Why do they (the opposition) speak nonsense, how can one answer without investigation? They will get all their answers as all layers of this matter unfold. This is a politicisation of the matter. They are not letting the house function as if they will carry out all the investigations. They are trying to dilute the seriousness of the issue just like they did in farmers protest.”

So far the Speaker has taken one and a half years. He was expected to take a decision during this period. He is not just the Speaker, we look at him as a tribunal. But what if he (can't decide)?"
