Security breach video: LS speaker Sumitra Mahajan advises AAP MP Bhagwant Mann not to attend Parliament until a decision is made.The Speaker also sets up a 9-member panel to probe Mann's video which put Parliament security "in peril". The panel will submit the report on August 3.

In other words, Mann will not attend the session till the panel reaches a decision. The Speaker said it is imperative that strict action is taken to prevent a repeat misdemeanor. 

The AAP MP has to been told to respond to the issue by tomorrow.

On Friday, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan met Maan for about 20-minutes and reportedly expressed her displeasure and unhappiness over breaching specific rules related to the Lok Sabha, and in particular his move on Thursday to video live stream his movements in Parliament. Mahajan told members of the House that the matter is serious and promised to take appropriate action against Mann. "Matter is serious and I understand that appropriate action must be taken. I will see to it,' said Mahajan. Her admonition of Maan came even as members in both Houses of Parliament raised a din over Maan breaching specific rules of the Lok Sabha. The chairs in both Houses were under considerable pressure from the members to take appropriate punitive action against the errant AAP MP, as a majority felt that it is a matter of national security being compromised.
