Stray puppy sparks political debate after wandering into Parliament
A stray puppy briefly entered Parliament on Monday after Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury rescued it from a busy road. The unusual incident sparked a political debate, with critics questioning security protocols. It happened on the first day of the winter session, which saw both houses adjourned early due to protests and procedural matters.
The morning began with Chowdhury spotting the puppy near traffic after a road accident. Concerned for its safety, she picked it up and brought it into the Parliament complex. She later sent the animal back to her social security home.
The puppy’s brief appearance in Parliament led to calls for stricter enforcement of security rules. Both houses struggled to proceed with scheduled discussions, adjourning early amid ongoing political tensions. The episode highlighted how even small incidents can disrupt political proceedings.
