New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a PIL (public interest litigation) raising concern over the safety and security of Parliament and seeking to ensure its “uninterrupted constitutional functioning”. Citing the 2001 terror attack on the Parliament complex and the 2023 security breach, the PIL prayed for a direction to authorities to undertake a comprehensive review of the existing institutional security framework, including its “administrative, institutional, operational, technological and cyber-security mechanisms”. You think the Parliament of this country is incapable of taking care of its own security? The petitioner’s counsel emphasised that in a parliamentary democracy, the “Parliament is paramount” and reviewing its safety was the “need of the hour”. Remarking that the security of every individual was paramount, the court told the petitioner that not every thought can become the subject matter of a PIL.
