AAP MP Bhagwant Mann's videography of the parliament last week, has put him into quite some serious trouble. The Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has reportedly advised Mr Mann, who belongs to the Aam Aadmi Party and represents Punjab, to stay away from the House for now. She asked him not to attend the House till a decision is taken on the matter while setting up a nine-member panel to probe the issue. The panel, chaired by BJP member Kirit Somaiya, has been asked to submit its report by August 3, while Mann has time till tomorrow morning to submit his explanation to the committee.
Bhagwant Mann submitted what he described as "an unconditional apology" to Ms Mahajan last week with little effect. She said it was "not enough"; a committee of nine members will now investigate the incident. On Thursday, Mr Mann live-streamed on a Facebook his car entering parliament from the gate which was used in a terror attack in 2001 in which nine people were shot dead along with five terrorists. The AAP leader said his intent was to allow his constituency to sample his routine as a parliamentarian.
