The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Trinamool Congress MP Kirti Azad of vaping inside the Lok Sabha, sharing a 35-second video purportedly showing him making a smoking gesture. BJP leader Amit Malviya posted the video on X, referencing a previous complaint by BJP MP Anurag Thakur regarding a violation of parliamentary rules. While the video doesn't clearly show an e-cigarette or smoke, Malviya accused Azad of disregarding rules and called on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to address the alleged misconduct. The incident briefly disrupted parliamentary proceedings, and Speaker Om Birla has requested a written complaint to investigate the matter. The authenticity of the video remains unverified by LiveMint.
