What MPs said about incident? 

One of the members who overpowered the two persons inside the Lok Sabha chamber said, "One of them was saying I am a patriot and came here to protest," news agency PTI reported. JD(U) member Ramprit Mandal said the intruders had hidden the gas canisters in their shoes and sprayed yellow-coloured gas in the Lok Sabha chamber. Mandal, who was near the intruder, said RLP member Hanuman Beniwal and other members overpowered the person.

Notably, around the same time, two persons, including a woman, also sprayed coloured gas from canisters while shouting slogans 'tanashahi nahi chalegi' outside the Parliament premises. All four have been detained by security forces.

Security heightened around Parliament 

Following the incident, the area around Parliament was turned into a fortress with the deployment of police and paramilitary. The Delhi Police's Special Cell has been tasked with the investigation of both the incidents, according to officials. Forensic teams visited the Parliament to gather scientific and physical evidence, they added. 

It should be mentioned here that the incident occurred on the 22nd anniversary of the deadly attack on Parliament. Terrorists of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed outfits had attacked the Parliament complex on this day in 2001, killing nine people. The terrorists were gunned down before they could enter the main building.
