‘#BhagwantMann served interests of people who wish to terrorise India’

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has taken cognizance of the video and has sought a report from the Parliament security. She further said that she would take action since it was a serious issue.

The video was still available on Mann’s Facebook account and Congress leader Anand Sharma raised this point in the Parliament asking why wasnt the video blocked yet.

Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said that action should be taken against Bhagwant Mann. “Some people should be taught a lesson, they can’t breach security like this” CNN News 18 quoted Mallikarjun Kharge. The JD(U) also asked AAP National convener Arvind Kejriwal to reprimand Mann for shooting the video. Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed displeasure over Mann’s action and said “Bhagwant Mann made a statement that he will do it again. Government will do what it has to do.”
Harsimrat Badal, Union Cabinet Minister of Food Processing and Shrimoni Akali Dal leader asked, “Who will be responsible if tomorrow that video is used by terrorist organisations for attacks? Can we take this so leniently?

On Thursday, BJP leader Tarun Chugh said the AAP MP has compromised national security by leaking the security details of the Parliament and uploading the video on social media. “Bhagwant Mann calls it a matter of pride and says he will again show it. I think the AAP has become a shelter of comedians, which doesn’t have an ideology. Its aim is to create sensation. These kinds of people are threat to the nation’s unity,” he said.

@bhagwantmann के वीडियो पर हल्ला मचाने वालों वीडियो का मकसद साफ़ है कि 140 सांसद अपने क्षेत्र और देश की जनता की समस्या चाहकर भी नही उठा सके।

Again, AAP the masters of political click-bait & BJP plays along. #BhagwantMann case gives much free publicity to a comedian, 4-member party

AAP MP Bhagwant Mann has taken Congress MP Renuka Chaudhary’s stupidity challenge seriously. https://t.co/9QQGCkniUE

By putting that video on Social Media, @bhagwantmann willingly or unwillingly has served interests of people who wish to terrorise India.

As MPs, we are expected to be cautious of our behaviour. Strong action should be taken against @bhagwantmann to give message to everyone.

— Maheish Girri (@MaheishGirri) July 22, 2016

Bhagwant Mann has compromised the security of the parliament by exposing all security arrangements of Parliament.

It is not only BJP Shekhar, the whole country is shocked at his callous act. It is much more than being a comedian. https://t.co/rLhA8StBj5
