In response to the security breach incident in Parliament, Congress MP and leader of the party in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking "four days" to address the issue and urged him to come to Parliament to speak on the issue.
Chowdhury alleged that PM Modi's delayed response was a result of pressure from opposition parties and the public.
"The PM takes to 'X' whenever something happens anywhere in the world. But he took four days to react to the Parliament security breach incident. He should have come to the House the next day and assured people not to worry," Chowdhury expressed to reporters on Sunday.

He emphasized that Modi's response finally came under pressure from the Opposition and the common people, adding, "I believe he should come to Parliament and speak on this issue."
Addressing the severity of the security breach, where two individuals entered the Lok Sabha chamber on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, Modi emphasized the need to avoid squabbling over the issue.
In an interview with Hindi daily 'Dainik Jagran,' the PM stated that probe agencies are investigating the incident and implementing stringent measures.
Chowdhury also called on Speaker Om Birla to revoke the suspension of 13 opposition members, asserting that in light of the Parliament security breach incident, the MPs sought an explanation on "very troubling issues." In a letter to Birla, he urged a fair hearing for the suspended members to express their concerns and points of view. Birla had previously stated that the suspension was unrelated to their protests over the security breach but was implemented to uphold the sanctity of the House.
