A day after Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Renuka Chowdhury made remarks about bringing a dog to the Parliament complex, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday (Dec 2, 2025) slammed the leaders, saying their remarks hurt the dignity of Parliament.
When asked about the dog, Ms. Chowdhury said, “Those who sit inside bite, dogs don’t”. During an informal interaction with reporters on Tuesday, Mr Gandhi reportedly said that pets are not allowed outside but “inside”.
BJP MP and spokesperson Sambit Patra alleging that the two Congress leaders’ remarks hurt the decency and dignity of Parliament, said the leaders also insulted all MPs, including Congress members, security personnel and staff working in Parliament. He invited them to think about their statements.
