Kirti Azad Video: BJP Throws New Light On Parliament Vaping Row
Summary
A controversy has erupted in the Indian Parliament following a video shared by BJP leader Amit Malviya, alleging that Trinamool Congress MP Kirti Azad was vaping inside the Lok Sabha. The 35-second clip shows Azad making a gesture resembling smoking, but no visible e-cigarette or smoke is apparent, and its authenticity remains unverified. BJP MP Anurag Thakur previously raised concerns about unnamed Trinamool MPs vaping in the House. Malviya criticized Azad, stating that rules and laws hold no meaning for him, and called on TMC boss Mamata Banerjee to address the alleged misconduct. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla stated that action would be taken if the allegations are proven true, emphasizing the importance of maintaining parliamentary decorum.
