In a rare show of unity, Congress leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi joined BJP’s Maneka and Varun Gandhi in condemning the Supreme Court’s order to permanently shift stray dogs to shelters. Calling it “inhumane” and “impractical,” they warned it would lead to “institutionalisation of cruelty” and strain resources, with insufficient shelters available. Rahul urged humane solutions like sterilisation and vaccination, while Maneka criticised the judgment as financially unviable and ecologically harmful. Varun warned of a moral crisis, and opposition leaders from Trinamool and Shiv Sena also sought a review. The Delhi government has signalled compliance despite widespread criticism.
