Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) parliamentarian from Punjab Bhagwant Mann on Thursday shot a video clip of his journey from home to Parliament House, including going past the various security pickets, and uploaded it on the social media, drawing flak from all quarters for putting Parliament House's security in peril.

However, Mann was unperturbed by the criticism and said that he would put another video on social media the next day as well.

"Kya mere video se sansad khatre me aa gaya (Has Parliament come in danger by my video)," Mann asked, when confronted by the media.

He said that he also wanted to show the public how questions for Zero Hour are sorted in the Central Hall before the day's proceedings begin.

 

"Is it wrong to show to public how their issues are raised in the Parliament? They have elected us and they have a right to know all this," Mann told mediapersons.

He rejected the charge that his action has put Parliament House's security in danger.

"There are so many big cameras around here," he said.
