Politics of amateurish attack in Parliament

The grave security breach in the Lok Sabha on the 22nd Anniversary of the Parliament attack is being politicized by all parties with BJP leading from the front trying to link the TMC even before the investigative agencies find any such link and no action against BJP MP Pratap Simha for providing passes to the culprits endangering the whole Parliament, leave alone removing him as member contrary to the double quick action to remove Mahua Moitra for a serious national security lapse. Considering the amateurish and non-lethal attack, it appears to be a serious protest by disgruntled frustrated youth due to difficulties in finding jobs and making a living. Instead of taking responsibility for the serious failure in security, they are building a terror and conspiracy narrative, frustrating the Opposition who are always having to be bulldozed or staging a walkout.  I am neither for the Congress nor against the BJP. Running Parliament is the responsibility of the ruling party and the public will have to proactively and honestly decide whose  egos and antagonism are responsible for constant washout of Parliament sessions with impunity.
