The Haryana Assembly speaker said the visitors' gallery in the House is quite close to where the MLAs sit. "We will review the security measures."

Referring to the security breach in Parliament, Gupta said it was unfortunate that some people carried out such an act inside "the temple of democracy" and it should be strongly condemned.

According to a statement, at Tuesday's security meeting, the Speaker issued some instructions which include that no protest of any kind will be allowed outside the Assembly premises.

It was directed that the support staffers accompanying the MLAs will not enter the Assembly premises, it stated.
