Congress national president and the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Thursday wrote to the chairman of the Upper House, Jagdeep Dhankhar, over the major security breach in the new Parliament complex on Wednesday.

After a security breach at the new Parliament building sent shockwaves throughout the nation, Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi revealed that she had previously flagged concern over a huge crowd pouring into the visitors' gallery of the Rajya Sabha Parliament.
On September 17, the Indian flag was hoisted at the new Parliament building and the date was doubly special as it marked the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi a fitting tribute to a leader, who has played a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s destiny.
Condemning the remarks of Congress leader Jairam Ramesh over the new Parliament building, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravishankar Prasad on Saturday said that the new building is made in India in the true sense and that the Rajya Sabha MP of the grand old party has no right to insult it.
"This shows the BJP only practices politics of hatred and nothing else. This episode shows the reality and motive of the Modi government and the hidden agenda of the session in the New Parliament," Congress MP Adhir Ranjan said.
Kharge also questioned the BJP for not inviting President Droupadi Murmu to the inauguration of the new Parliament building while inviting many others, including actors.
"Even by the lowest standards of the Congress Party, this is a pathetic mindset. This is nothing but an insult to the aspirations of 140 crore Indians. In any case, this isn’t the first time Congress is anti-Parliament. They tried in 1975 and it failed miserably," Nadda posted on 'X'.
