On 18 November, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan gave another extension to the parliamentary committee formed to probe Aam Aadmi Party MP Bhagwant Mann's filming of "critical" areas of Parliament House building till 3 December.

The Speaker had said since the charges against Mann were serious in nature, he is advised not to attend the proceedings of the House till a decision is taken on the complaint against him. He has not been attending the proceedings on the advise of the Chair.

Following the decision, Mann tweeted a picture of his in which he is sitting on dharna against the decision.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was tagged in the post, shared the post as well.

And this inadvertently gave Twitter a chance to turn towards its favourite punching bag.

Mann, the AAP MP from Sangrur, had triggered a controversy in July by live-streaming the security arrangements at the Parliament House complex on social media.

After facing flak for his act, the AAP MP had defended his move saying he was only showing people how Parliament functioned.

He had later appeared before the committee and demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expulsion for compromising national security by allowing Pakistan's security agency inside the Pathankot airbase, following the terror attack on the facility.
