Wrestlers' Protest, Women's Quota, Democracy And More: A Look At Social Media Of Parl Breach Accused

The social media posts of Sagar Sharma and Neelam show they were active participants in protests against the government over various issues.

The country was observing the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on Parliament when a plan by six persons left a mark on Dec 13 and liked the day further with the Parliament. Sagar Sharma jumped from the visitor's gallery and lept on the table running towards the centre of the Lok Sabha while parliamentarians tried to catch him.

More was coming. Sagar's accomplice, Manoranjan opened the gas cannisters they brought with them releasing yellow smoke across the champer scaring everyone of the fact that what if it was poisonous? While the gas turned out to be only coloured smoke, the act raised questions about the security system and on a day when something deadly had occurred in the same premises 22 years back. 

On his Instagram, Sagar shared a post hours before the attack and said: "Jeete ya hare, par koshish to zaruri hai" (Making an effort is important whether you win or lose).

Several of his posts praise freedom fighter Bhagat Singh while in one, he mentions who a true Indian is. 

His Facebook bio reads: "Mera Sapna hi meri Daulat hai Mai "Itihaas" likhunga aya hu duniya me to kuch kr k marunga (my dreams are my wealth and I have come in the world to do something before dying)"

While the chaos spread inside House, Neelam and Amol Shinde opened colored gas cannisters outside the building and shouted "tanashahi nahi chalegi" among other slogans.

A thorough probe has begun into the issue and the agencies are also searching through their social media handles as they communicated with each other using Facebook and other similar mediums.

Social media posts of Neelam show her supporting the wrestlers' protest. 

In one of her posts on X, she had questioned why there wasn't a 50 per cent quota for women in Parliament and legislative assemblies.

She also shared a post after Chandershekhar Azad was attacked. "By attacking bhai (brother) Chandershekhar Azad, it has been proven that whoever raises the voice for the rights of the Dalits and the underprivileged can be killed to suppress their voice. Democracy is being murdered. Criminals should be given strict punishment, (Azad) should be given security," she said.
