New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party parliamentarian Bhagwant Mann should be sent to a rehabilitation centre for his “alcohol addiction”, some Members of Parliament have told Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MP Prem Singh Chandumajra, BJP Parliamentarian Mahesh Giri and MP Harinder Singh Khalsa are among those who have written to the Speaker advising her against allowing Mann to attend Parliament sessions until he undergoes treatment.

Mann has been accused of coming to Parliament drunk.

Meanwhile, sources claimed a committee investigating allegations that Mann had put Parliament at risk when he filmed its security procedure has found him guilty.

The source claimed that the nine-member parliamentary committee agreed unanimously that action should be taken against the MP.

The Member of Parliament from Sangrur filmed Parliament’s security checks last month and posted it on Facebook, drawing criticisms. Mahajan set up a committee to investigate if his act put Parliament at security risk.

Mann apologised for his act, but also told the committee he had done “no wrong”.

Parliament was attacked on December 13, 2001, killing 13 people.
