Political Drama in Parliament: Dress Code and Protests
In the Parliament of India, there was a lot of excitement and discussion about two main things.
First, the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, wore a traditional Odiya-style dhoti instead of his usual white kurta and pyjama, which caught the attention of many MPs.
Second, the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, lost a shoe during a protest outside the Prime Minister's residence, which became a topic of discussion on social media.
Additionally, a Trinamool Congress MP, Kalyan Banerjee, was suspended for protesting against his own party members who switched to another party.
