Watch | Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury comes with pet dog for Day 1 of Parliament's winter session, social media reacts
Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury is making headlines after she appeared with a dog for Day 1 of the winter session of the Parliament. This incident ignited strong social media reaction and sharp criticism from BJP members over the protocol and security concern. The 71-year-old leader reacted and said that the puppy isn't any issue, instead the real people who are there to bite are inside the Parliament.
Defending her actions, she added, “Which protocol? Is their any law? I was on my way to the Parliament when I came across a road accident between a car and a scooter. This small puppy was roaming around on the road near the accident site. Out of concern, I took the dog from the street and placed the puppy inside my car. My car dropped me here and went back with the puppy. So what is the discussion about?”
Social media reaction
A user wrote, “When you can't bite with arguments, you bring a dog instead. Parliament deserves conviction, not circus acts.”Another user remarked, “Renuka Chowdhary's antics remind me of what Modi ji once said about her laughter and honestly it's stuck in my head ever since!”
A third user joked, “She noticed the dog but not those who collided. Brilliant eyes.”
Renuka Chowdhury issues clarification
Giving a clarification over the issue, Renuka Chowdhury stated, “The government doesn't like animals. What's the harm if a small, harmless animal comes inside?" when questioned about the presence of her pet.Insisting that the dog posed no threat and was merely accompanying her inside the vehicle, she said, “It is not aggressive." This justification came after BJP MP Jagdambika Pal raised concerns over the dog's presence and said, “Renuka Chowdhury brought a dog into Parliament. Action should be taken against her."
She further noted, “Having certain parliamentary privileges does not mean they can be misused," News18 reported.
The Winter Session commenced on 1 December which was stormy day marked by Opposition protests over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Centre listed 10 new bills for introduction and decided to hold a discussion on 150 years of Vande Mataram, India's national song.
Before the Parliament was adjourned till 2:00 PM, the finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman tabled the first batch of Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2025-26 in the Lok Sabha.
