The Winter Session of Parliament began with sharp exchanges between the ruling party and the Opposition and a unique controversy erupted when Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury arrived at Parliament carrying a stray dog on Monday. Members of the ruling party immediately targeted her for the act, which quickly became one of the most discussed moments of the day. Chowdhury later defended her gesture saying, if there is anyone to worry about biting, it’s not the dog, it’s some people in Parliament. “Why should this be an issue inside Parliament? Those who can bite are inside the Parliament,” she told reporters. The unusual incident continued to dominate conversations, and soon Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was also asked to comment.
