Bengaluru: Chaos ensued in the Karnataka Assembly on Friday when an unidentified man walked into the Vidhan Soudha, the seat of the state legislature, and boldly occupied the chair of Janata Dal (Secular) MLA Kariyamma during the ongoing Budget session. The man, hailing from Chitradurga district in Karnataka, was subsequently apprehended by authorities.
According to the police, the intruder claimed that he had entered the Vidhan Soudha without permission because he desired to attend the crucial Budget session. Despite his insistence that he was an MLA, the 70-year-old man failed to provide any evidence to substantiate his claims.
Prompt action was taken, and security officials swiftly intervened to escort the trespasser out of the Assembly premises. The Speaker of the Assembly was promptly informed about the incident, further highlighting the breach in security arrangements at the Vidhan Soudha.
In response to the incident, authorities immediately launched an investigation into the matter. After a few hours, the individual was apprehended by the police. Details regarding the arrest and any potential charges pressed against the intruder have not been disclosed at this time.
Meanwhile, amidst the commotion, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah successfully presented his 14th Budget proposal to the legislative Assembly. This budget holds historical significance as it marks the maiden budget of the newly formed Congress government in the state.
This shocking incident has raised serious concerns regarding the security protocols implemented at the Vidhan Soudha. It calls for a thorough review and assessment of the existing security arrangements to prevent similar breaches in the future. The authorities are expected to take immediate steps to bolster security measures and ensure the safety of legislators and the sanctity of the legislative proceedings.
