Amid ongoing debate over the Supreme Court’s ruling on stray dogs in Delhi, BJP leader and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi appealed to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) to review the decision with compassion, stressing that “our goals are the same,” reported ANI.

Speaking to ANI, Gandhi argued that removing dogs from certain areas is not a lasting solution.

"Nobody favours the ill-treatment of animals. They believe that if animals are taken away, their children would not be bitten. I agree with that. But the animals would not go away. If we remove 3 lakh animals from Delhi, 3 lakh more would come in within a week from Ghaziabad and Faridabad. If those additional 3 lakh are removed, more would come in because there is abundant food in Delhi."
