Two people jumped down from the audience gallery and hurled gas cannisters. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said two persons jumped from the public gallery into Lok Sabha chamber and were overpowered by members. It is pertinent to mention that there has been no official statement issued by the Central government in connection with the incident.  

Speaking on the breach, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said, "Suddenly two young men around 20 years old jumped into the House from the visitor's gallery and had canisters in their hand. These canisters were emitting yellow smoke. One of them was attempting to run towards the Speaker's chair. They were shouting some slogans. The smoke could have been poisonous. This is a serious breach of security especially on 13th December, the day when Parliament was attacked in 2001..."

Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla said, "A thorough investigation of the incident that took place during zero hour, is being done. Essential instructions have also been given to Delhi Police. In the primary investigation, it has been found that it was just a smoke and there is no need to worry about the smoke."

Om Birla said both the accused have been held. He said, "Both of them have been nabbed and the materials with them have also been seized. The two people outside the Parliament have also been arrested by Police."
