New Delhi: Security in Parliament may be very intense but some intruders managed to get in on Wednesday - flies. Amidst an animated debate on a health bill in the Rajya Sabha, a few flies troubled some members who could not resist seeking protection from the Chair.

"Sir, there are a number of flies," said BJP member Najma Heptullah, drawing attention of PJ Kurien, who was in the Chair.

Her party colleagues - Venkaiah Naidu and Rajiv Pratap Rudy - also lent their voices to Heptullah's concerns almost instantly.
