Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday announced that a high- level inquiry has been ordered to probe the security breach in Parliament and a comprehensive review of existing security protocols will be carried out. Speaking in Lok Sabha at 4 pm, Birla termed the matter as ‘serious’ and ‘worrisome’ and assured that appropriate action will be taken on the findings of the high-level enquiry. Birla had a word of praise for the watch and ward staff of Parliament and also the MP's who confronted the intruders and pinned them down. After making his statement Birla adjourned the House till 11 AM Thursday.

The Speaker convened an all-party meeting at 4 pm to take suggestions from political leaders on the security breach in the Parliament earlier in the day. Two people had jumped into the well of the House and dispersed a yellow-coloured smoke in the Lok Sabha in the pre-lunch session. Two persons were arrested from inside and another two were arrested  from outside, said the Speaker while asking  MP's to refrain from commenting till a detail report of the incident is available. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury raised question on security arrangements, saying it happened on a day when anniversary of Parliament attack was observed. Birla assured party leaders that all suggestions by the members will be implemented. People come to the visitor’s gallery after MP's invite them. “We have to see if procedures need to change,” said Birla.
