New Delhi: Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla showed exceptional courage during the parliament breach on Wednesday when he caught hold of one of the intruders, Sagar Sharma. A video showed Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma leaping into the Lok Sabha chamber. While Sharma jumped over desks and raced towards the speaker’s chair, Manoranjan sprayed yellow smoke from a canister.
Aujla said he saw Sharma take off his shoe and get another smoke canister out when he snatched it from him.
“He was holding something in his hand which was emitting yellow smoke. I grabbed it from him and threw it away,” he told reporters outside the Parliament, showing his hand covered in yellow pigment.
Shashi Tharoor has praised his party colleague saying, “Singh is King! Awesome Aujla, my brave colleague, who confronted the intruder in the Lok Sabha,” in a post on X.
At least four MPs were seen raining blows on Sharma. One leader yanked him by the hair while others continued to hit him. The video shows yellow smoke swirling around the MPs as they attack the intruder.
Sagar Sharma, D Manoranjan, Neelam Devi and Amol Shinde, who burst red and yellow canisters inside and outside the Parliament have been arrested and charged under the anti-terror law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and sections of the Indian Penal Code.
