The MPs have been charged with breaking Police ranks and entering Parliament grounds on July 24th. All the said MPs had been summoned to Police for questioning over the issue.

The MPs maintain that there is no law that bars MPs from being in Parliament grounds and that Police had no standing to do so as well.

Officers of Police and Army had entered Parliament grounds and forcibly removed MPs from the grounds. This is the first time in the nation’s history that an event of this nature had occurred.
