Patiala MP Dr Dharamvira Gandhi on Tuesday came to the defence of Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann, who has been in the line of fire for his act of filming Parliament and posting it online.

Gandhi tweeted that Mann had made a mistake and had apologised. Any harsher punishment would be a travesty of justice, he said.    

In a nearly 12-minute video that he had shared live on Facebook, Mann filmed his vehicle crossing security barricades and him entering Parliament on Thursday to attend the ongoing Monsoon Session. Parliament was uproarious over the act as several MPs demanded stringent action.

Mann has been barred from attending the House for 10 days by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan till a nine-member parliamentary panel decided appropriate action against him.

A police complaint has also been registered against the parliamentarian. The complaint was lodged at the Parliament Street police station.
