Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann has posted a video on Facebook, showing Parliament live. The video united the political parties across the spectrum today in strong condemnation and calls for action against what everyone called a massive security breach. 

Referring to 2001 terror attack in Parliament, both the government and opposition leaders have demanded to penalize the AAP MP from Punjab, for streaming the video on Facebook, showing various layers of screening and checks.

Reacting to it, Mann has now apologized saying, “I did it unknowingly. I didn't know it will become such a big thing.” On the other side, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, summoning Mr Mann, said, “A committee will be formed, an apology is not enough as all party members are upset.” She also added that, she was also looking into complaints on the AAP MP's "drinking issue."

Mr Mann in his 12 minute video gave a running commentary, while his SUV crosses security check-points while entering Parliament. "Today I'll show you something you have never seen before," he says in the video. The video then shows Mann entering into the Parliament, where questions are elected for Zero Hour.  

Mann said that, his intention was to show to the people who voted him, the process Parliament follows.
