Stray puppy sneaks into Parliament, sparks security debate after MP’s rescue
A stray puppy briefly entered Parliament on Monday after Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury rescued it from a busy road. The unusual incident sparked political debate and led to calls for stricter security checks. Opposition leaders questioned the breach, while the Lok Sabha faced an early adjournment due to unrelated protests.
The incident unfolded on the first day of the winter session. Chowdhury spotted the puppy near traffic after a collision and brought it into Parliament for safety. She later returned the animal to her home.
The puppy’s brief presence in Parliament highlighted gaps in security protocols. Chowdhury’s actions also triggered broader discussions on access rules during sessions. Both houses resumed later, but the incident left lawmakers divided over enforcement measures.
