Condemning Bhagwant Mann's act of uploading a video on social media showing the Parliament premises and internal security positions, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former home secretary R.K. Singh on Thursday said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA should not have done such a thing, adding that it would be very important for a terrorist who wants to attack Parliament.
"It is totally irresponsible. He should not have done such a thing. He should have some sense. There has already been terror attack on the Parliament. It will be a very important for a terrorist who wants to attack Parliament. We will attract the Speaker's attention in it," Singh told ANI.
Mann came under attack for doing a Facebook Live where he recorded his journey from his home to parliament, including the security checks.
In the video, Mann is even heard narrating the security procedures that Members of Parliament are subjected to while entering the Parliament building.
Defending himself on the issue, Mann said he was just talking about how Parliament functions and asked whether his video posed a security threat to Parliament.
"I will post a video again tomorrow. let me be served a notice. Is it illegal, inappropriate to post a video which shows procedure of how questions are taken up in Parliament during Question Hour?," he told media here.
