In a unique twist of parliamentary protocol, Congress leader Renuka Chowdhury has found herself at the center of controversy after being served a breach of privilege notice. The notice uprose after Chowdhury, a self-confessed dog lover, brought a rescued stray dog into the Parliament premises, sparking a heated debate.

The issue escalated when Chowdhury allegedly made remarks deemed derogatory towards her fellow MPs, comparing them to the canine she had rescued. The Rajya Sabha Committee of Privileges has now demanded a response from her, further intensifying the political dispute.

Amidst accusations from BJP MPs Brij Lal and Indu Bala Goswami of contemptuous behavior and security breaches, Chowdhury has defended her actions, questioning the criticisms and asserting there's no law preventing animal rescues. The unfolding drama continues to captivate both the political arena and the public.
