The Winter Session of Parliament drew to a tumultuous close on December 19, 2025, marked by unprecedented scenes of disorder and a series of incidents that rapidly captured the nation's attention on social media. The final day encapsulated the session's chaotic spirit, blending serious allegations with unusual theatrics.
From Vaping Allegations to a Puppy's Presence
The Lok Sabha witnessed a major controversy when BJP MP Anurag Thakur accused a fellow member of vaping inside the hallowed chamber. The MP in question was later identified by BJP's Amit Malviya as Trinamool Congress's Kirti Azad. This accusation prompted a formal complaint to the Speaker, highlighting a breach of parliamentary decorum.
In a lighter but equally attention-grabbing incident, Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury brought a rescued puppy into Parliament. She used the opportunity to take political jabs at the ruling BJP. When questioned by reporters later, she famously barked at them, a moment that quickly went viral.
Heated Exchanges and a Dismissed Challenge
The session was also rife with intense political confrontations. During a debate on electoral revisions, a sharp exchange ensued between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Gandhi challenged Shah to a public debate over allegations of "vote chori" (vote theft), a challenge that the Home Minister firmly and dismissively rejected.
Amidst the friction, a rare cordial interaction provided some relief. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari were seen engaging in a humorous discussion about road projects, which even included sharing food, showcasing a momentary departure from the prevailing acrimony.
Chaotic Conclusion and Paper-Tearing Protests
The session culminated in chaos during the passage of the VB-G RAM G Bill. Opposition MPs, vehemently protesting the legislation, stormed into the well of the House. In a dramatic display of dissent, they tore papers and created an uproar, leading to a disorderly end to the parliamentary proceedings.
This Winter Session will be remembered not for legislative productivity but for these viral spectacles, reflecting the deeply polarized and theatrical nature of contemporary Indian politics. The events have sparked widespread discussion on parliamentary conduct and the intersection of politics and social media.
