Renuka Chowdhury Faces Privilege Breach Notice for Bringing Dog to Parliament, Controversial Remarks
•Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury received a privilege breach notice for bringing a stray puppy into Parliament and making controversial remarks about fellow MPs.
•The controversy began on December 1 when Chowdhury arrived with a puppy; she later mimicked barking and stated, "The real dogs are sitting in Parliament."
•Chowdhury defended her actions, claiming she rescued the puppy from an accident and challenged any law prohibiting animals in Parliament.
•BJP MPs Brijlal and Indu Bala Goswami moved the motion, calling her act a violation of parliamentary decorum; BJP MP Jagdambika Pal termed it a 'spectacle'.
•Rahul Gandhi defended Chowdhury, questioning why the dog wasn't allowed inside, while the notice requires a response by February 23.
