Parliament security breach: Bhagwant Mann to be suspended from Winter Session

Bhagwant Mann had triggered a controversy in July by live-streaming on social media the security arrangements at the Parliament House complex.

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Bhagwant Mann was on Thursday barred from attending the remaining Winter Session.

The current Session ends on December 16, 2016.

Mann, the Aam Aadmi Party MP from Sangrur, had triggered a controversy in July by live-streaming on social media the security arrangements at the Parliament House complex.

On December 02, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan had given another extension to the Parliamentary Committee formed to probe the alleged breach of Parliament security by Bhagwant Mann.

The nine-member committee is headed by Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kirit Somaiya.

Mahajan had set up a panel on July 25 to probe the alleged breach of Parliament security by the AAP leader, who on July 21 posted on Facebook his route from home to Parliament House.
