On December 13 afternoon, two men jumped inside the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors' gallery with canisters of yellow smoke. They were pinned down by the MPs who were in the House during the Zero Hour. Two more people, including a woman, were held for holding a demonstration outside the Parliament complex. Six people have been arrested so far in connection to the incident including key accused Lalit Jha.
In the letter, the Lok Sabha Speaker also clarified that the suspension of 14 MPs had nothing to do with the December 13 incident and that the decision was to "uphold the sanctity of the House". "It is indeed unfortunate that some Hon'ble Members and political parties are linking the decision of the House to suspend some Hon'ble Members from the service of the House to the incident which occurred on December 13. This is unwarranted," he said.
