Serious business apart. The Parliament proceedings witnessed funny moments too. Amid heated debates and fiery arguments between the lawmakers representing the government and the Opposition, there were many light-hearted moments too.

Here’s a look at some of these moments as compiled by news agency ANI in a video.

In the middle of heated debate during Parliament’s Budget Session in February, the members sitting in Lok Sabha suddenly broke out in laughter when RLP MP Hanuman Beniwal responded with ‘kya higaya (what happened)” after being interrupted by a bell signalling him to end his speech

Despite repeated reminders by presiding officer Dilip Saikia, Lok Sabha MP Beniwal went on speaking and eventually. As he spoke, the bell buzzed yet again indicating the MP that he should rest now.

"Kya hogaya," the RLP MP said in a funny tone. “10:30-11:30 baj rahe hai, khabar to akhbaar mei chapni nahi ab… social media se hi kaam chalega (See, it’s already 10:30-11:30, we are still debating, this won’t come in newspapers tomorrow, only social media is the option, so let me continue),” he said leaving everyone in laughter.

To this, Bachchan said, "Either you speak or I will speak. I will not allow this. When you speak, I never interrupt. When a woman speaks, I never interrupt. So please, mind your tongue."

Watching Jaya Bachchan angry, Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was sitting beside Bachchan, attempted to calm her down. But it backfired as Jaya said, "Priyanka, don’t control me." Following this, Priyanka Chaturvedi responded with an embarrassed laugh. Other members laughed too.

During the Monsoon Session of the Parliament, Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remark "Nehru’s head was like me (Nehruji ka sir mere jaisa tha)" left everyone present in splits

While Lok Sabha was discussing Operation Sindoor, BJP leaders targeted previous Congress-led governments for not acting enough against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Shah mixed humour with history, joking, "My head is like Nehru’s" before turning serious—accusing Nehru of abandoning Assam during the 1962 war. The Home Minister claimed that the then PM Nehru gave away almost 38,000 kms of land to China, because he (Nehru) felt that it was a useless piece of land.

Shah also said that then Member of Parliament (MP) and Congress leader Mahavir Prasad Tyagi targeted his own government in the Parliament and mocked Pandit Nehru saying that his (Nehru) head was bald, so should we handover that too to China.”

Speaking in Lok Sabha, Banerjee targeted BJP over infiltrators pitch. ”They said that SIR will help identifying infiltrators. But couldn’t find one in Bihar SIR.

In other sessions, Banerjee kept questioning the government over its foreign policy especially with regard to India-US ties under second term of President Donald Trump.

In another video that also went viral, two MPs were caught on cameras juggling for space in Lok Sabha

This happened when BJP MP Tejaswi Surya was addressing the House during Operation Sindoor debate when two BJP MPs were seen engaging in an argument over seat and space in the background.

The video showed the two MPs having an argument over a vacant seat. While one attempted to claim it, the another resisted and sat down on one of them. This encounter though short and brief, quickly went viral on social media.
