Updated : Dec 2, 2016
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today gave one more week’s time to the Lok Sabha panel probing the issue of Bhagwant Mann shooting a video of The Parliament complex and asked the AAP member not to attend the House till a decision is taken in the matter. She has extended AAP MP Bhagwant Mann’s quantum of punishment till December 9. Mahajan informed the house that the nine-member committee headed by Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kirit Somaiya has sought another extension. The nine-member committee, headed by BJP MP Kirti Somaiya, had found him guilty of compromising security and termed it a ‘serious breach’ of security of the Parliament which was attacked by militants in 2001. The committee was set up on July 25, a week after Mann had put out in the social media a video of his vehicle passing security barricades and entering the Parliament complex. He had also videographed a room where Parliament questions were being sorted.
