The Parliament House library adjoining the Central Hall had an unusual guest on Thursday (2016-07-28) afternoon. A monkey found his way in and remained in the reading room meant for MPs and journalists for a good half an hour. The monkey roamed around the reading room while only two Kerala MPs N K Premchandran of the RSP and M B Rajesh of CPM were present there.
After failing to discover any other exit from the library for about 30 minutes, the monkey made it's way out the main door and through the green carpeted corridor and finally left by the main gate of the building meant for VIPs. The security staff posted at the Central Hall door quickly shut the gates and prevented the monkey from invading the place where MPs, mini sters and journalists, along with catering staff are always present in good number.
The hapless library staff kept calling Parliament security , not knowing what to do in the situation. There was no help forthcoming as there is no way to catch a monkey in Parliament at present in the absence of the earlier employed langoors who used to deal with the recurring simian menace.
