New Delhi- All MPs requesting visitor passes must give a declaration that they know the guest personally and take full responsibility for him or her, according to the Lok Sabha handbook for members.
The guidelines were in the spotlight after two persons on Wednesday jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery in a major security breach.
According to the ‘handbook for Lok Sabha members’ uploaded on the Lower House’s website, in the application form submitted by MPs for visitors, they need to provide details such as visitor’s name in full, age, father’s or husband’s name, nationality and passport number (for foreigners only) and details of occupation, among other things.
Details of occupation of the husband (in the case of housewives only), full permanent address and state, and full Delhi address are also required.
According to the handbook, the members have to provide a certificate on the application form for the visitor card stating, “The above-named visitor is my relation/personal friend/known to me personally and I take full responsibility for her/him.” Visitors’ cards for the public gallery are issued for the guests of Lok Sabha members on the day before the visit on applications from members on yellow forms available in the Centralised Pass Issue Cell.
The application for visitors’ card should contain the name of not more than four guests of a member and the application should reach the Centralised Pass Issue Cell not later than 4 pm on the working day before the date for which the card is required.
