New Delhi, July 22 (IBNS): Ruckus was witnessed in both houses of Parliament on Friday over Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann shooting and uploading in social media a video of his journey to Parliament on Thursday which captured some high-security zones.

Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon over the issue of live-streaming on Facebook page of the lawmaker a video of Parliament on Thursday as most lawmakers demanded action against Mann.
 
"This is a matter of security of Parliament and some want to make a farce of it," said BJP's Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi in Rajya Sabha. 
 
Members started shouting in Rajya Sabha even as the Deputy Speaker tried to calm them.  Deputy Chairman P J Kurien said it is a serious matter. 
 
Congress lawmakers also protested calling it a serious issue. 
 
According to reports, Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan is likely to seek an explanation from Mann.
 
The AAP leader has uploaded the 11-minute clip on social media that raised questions over the safety of lawmakers.
 
However, Mann has rejected any security concerns that might be a result of his video footage.
