Congress MP Defiant After Bringing Dog to Parliament, BJP Condemns Actions

New Delhi, [Date] – Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury is facing criticism and the potential of a privilege motion after bringing a dog to the Parliament premises. The former Union Minister has remained defiant in the face of the backlash, asserting she violated no rules and dismissing concerns about possible repercussions.

“If they want to bring a motion against me for violation of special rights, let them do so; it doesn’t matter to me,” Chowdhury told reporters. She referenced a past instance of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee bringing a bullock cart to Parliament and emphasized the significance of dogs in Hinduism as defenses for her actions. When questioned further, Chowdhury responded with barking sounds, further inflaming the situation.

Sources indicate Chowdhury was initially stopped by security personnel at the Parliament gates, but she insisted on bringing the dog onto the premises. The dog was later taken away in the MP’s car.

The incident has drawn sharp condemnation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused Chowdhury of insulting Parliament and its members. “Renuka Chaudhary has insulted Parliament and MPs. She brings a dog to Parliament, and when asked about it, she says that those who bite are inside. That means the Parliament, Parliamentary staff, and the MPs are dogs in her opinion”. Poonawalla stated, labeling the incident as further evidence that the Congress party prioritizes “drama” over substantive debate.

Chowdhury defended her actions by claiming she rescued the puppy near an accident site on her way to Parliament and sent it home afterwards. She also questioned the focus on her animal care, stating, “Those who bite are sitting inside Parliament and running the government. Is there no problem with that? If I take care of an animal, it becomes a topic of discussion.”

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, offered support to Chowdhury, questioning the media’s focus on the incident. “These are the things that India is discussing these days. Dog is the main topic today, I believe. What did the poor dog do? Are they not allowed here?” he remarked.

The possibility of a privilege motion against Chowdhury is currently under consideration in the Rajya Sabha.
