Bhagwant Mann FB post: MHA likely to get Parliament surveillance system upgraded

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is likely to suggest upgrading the security in Parliament complex after AAP MP Bhagwant Mann uploaded a video of Parliament's internal security on social media.

There is a feeling in the security establishments that the AAP MP allegedly exposed the security apparatus set up from the Vijay Chowk, opposite Parliament, till the main gate of the building.

Under Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS) delivers the full picture of a vehicle's entire width and length and the Radio Frequency Identification Tags (RFITs) identify and track tags attached to objects and individuals.

Mann had showed in the video how many layers of security a car with an MP tag passes through from Vijay Chowk to the main entrance of the main building.

LOK SABHA SPEAKER SAYS 'MERE APOLOGY' BY AAP MP WON'T RESOLVE ISSUE

Taking a stern view of AAP MP Bhagwant Mann uploading a video of Parliament's internal security on social media, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today said that it is "a serious issue" which cannot be resolved by a "mere apology".

Mahajan said that action on the issue would be taken after consulting members of all political parties.

"When he (Mann) met me, he said he is ready to apologise, but the issue isn't something that can be resolved by mere apology," Mahajan told reporters.

"All members are agitated. It is a matter of security of the Parliament. I would have taken a prompt decision if it had been inside the House. It is a serious issue. I am talking to everyone as to what action should be taken," she said.

Earlier, Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till Monday by the Speaker following pandemonium in the House as members, rising above party lines, demanded immediate action against the AAP member.
