Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty reached the Parliament on the first day of the winter session with her mother Tapashi Chakraborty. She shared the picture with her mother on her Twitter account with the words, “1st day of parliament session with mommy”. The photograph got over 3,000 “likes” and was retweeted over a hundred times.
Chakraborty, who is an actor in Bengali films, is a first time parliamentarian. In Parliament, she spoke on the need for strict laws for street dogs. She said that “there is no proper law or an Act for street dogs except for a few sections in the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals Act of 1960 which has not fully covered them from getting regular treatment, immunisations, medicines, hospitalisation and other support.”
