New Delhi: BJP claimed on Thursday that it is getting "obvious" that the DNA of those involved in the Parliament security breach incident is linked with the "Congress-Communist axis", reports PTI.

The party came down on the opposition parties for disrupting parliamentary proceedings.

Opposition MPs in both houses made an uproar on Thursday, demanding a discussion on the security breach.

Trinamool Congress's Derek O'Brien was suspended from the Rajya Sabha, and 13 opposition MPs, including those from the Congress and the DMK's Kanimozhi, were suspended from the Lok Sabha for disrupting proceedings.

Hitting out at the opposition, BJP IT Department head Amit Malviya said in a post on X, "As details emerge, it is getting obvious that DNA of those who breached Parliament security is inextricably linked to the Congress-Communist axis."

"The kinds who were part of Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra and active participants in the orchestrated protests seen in the past...," he said.

BJP Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha accused opposition parties of "weakening the foundation of parliamentary democracy". "It's not just about today. In the last session, they did not allow Zero Hour and Question Hour (to be held)," he told PTI at the Parliament complex.

Disruption of parliamentary proceedings by the opposition is proof that it neither has faith in parliamentary democracy nor cares about people, he charged.

"India's opposition (parties) are dynastic, and to protect their leaders involved in corruption, they keep searching for issues to deflect public attention from time to time," Mr Sinha added.

BJP MP Locket Chatterjee said opposition parties should not do politics on the issue of Parliament security breach. "All should be united at this time. There should not be any politics on this matter," Ms Chatterjee told PTI.

She said that a high-level probe into the incident is already underway. "And those who perpetrated this anti-national act will face punishment," the Hooghly MP added.

In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on Wednesday, two men -- Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D -- jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow smoke from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.

Around the same time, two others, including a woman, raised slogans and released yellow smoke from canisters outside the Parliament premises, prompting police to round up the duo.

According to police, the Parliament security breach was well-coordinated, meticulously planned and carried out by six people, five of whom have been arrested.
