“When we rushed to catch the second person, I saw he had something in his hand, which he started waving. We snatched it from him and threw it out for the safety of the members as it was releasing a gas.”
“The two protesters were raising slogans like ‘tanashahi band karo (stop dictatorship)…They have given a big message. The government should pay attention,” he added.
The two tresspassers jumped into the chamber from the public gallery at around 1 pm. While one was spotted jumping over the benches, the other was left hanging from the gallery before he finally jumped into the House.
