Two men hurl gas-emitting objects in Lok Sabha (Photo: X/@DrSenthil_MDRD)

<div>
	Two unidentified men on Wednesday jumped from the visitor&#39;s gallery of the Lok Sabha, following which the House was adjourned. The incident happened when Khagen Murmu, a BJP member of Parliament from Maldaha (West Bengal), was speaking in the Lok Sabha.</div>
<br />
<div>
	Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, said that the men hurled something like a gas canister which emitted a gas inside the House. Chowdhury said, &quot;Two young men jumped from the gallery and something was hurled by them from which gas was emitting. They were caught by MPs, they were brought out by security personnel. The House was adjourned till 2 pm. This is certainly a security breach because today we observed the death anniversary of people who sacrificed their lives in the 2001 (Parliament attack).&quot;<br />
	<br />
	<div>
		According to the eyewitnesses, around 30 to 40 visitors were seated at the gallery of Lok Sabha when the &quot;security breach&quot; took place. &quot;It was shocking to see such kind of an incident inside the Parliament, despite five layers of security,&quot; another eyewitness said.</div>
