Bengali actress-turned politicians Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan shared 'first-day at parliament' pictures on Twitter. The first-time Member of Parliament (MPs) arrived at the Parliament House on Monday after being elected as the representatives from Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the recently concluded Lok Sabha Polls.
The two MPs posted their joint photographs on social media, displaying their identity cards at the parliament's premises. While Chakraborty is an elected member from the Jadavpur Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal, Jahan is the representative of Basirhat constituency from the same state.
"And its us again. First day at Parliament Nusrat Jahan," Mimi Chakraborty tweeted tagging Jahan.
