The gates to Parliament were closed, the MPs were inside and many feared they would be attacked by the ‘mob’, BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut said on Tuesday while recounting moments of tension from the CJP protests the earlier day.
The MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh also praised Delhi Police, describing the security personnel as a “shield for the people”.
“They (police) took the stones and injuries upon themselves and ensured that no harm came to the public,” Ranaut told reporters a day after thousands of people stormed central Delhi responding to a ‘Chalo Sansad’ call from the Cockroach Janta Party . According to Delhi Police, around 60 protesters were injured in the police action on Monday. More than 118 police personnel, including several senior officers, were also injured in the clashes. Ranaut and many other MPs were inside when main gates to Parliament premises were closed and entry and exit stopped as the crowds outside swelled. (Agencies)
