The Congress MP brought her pet dog to the Parliament visitors' gallery amid the ongoing controversy over the Supreme Court's decision on stray dogs. In its latest directive, the Supreme Court asked all states and Union Territories (UTs) to remove stray dogs from near schools, colleges, hospitals, bus stands, railway stations and other public places to control rising incidents of dog bites.
The top court had further ordered authorities to relocate stray dogs to shelters after vaccination and sterilisation in accordance with the Animal Birth Control Rules. On October 27, the Supreme Court pulled up the state governments for not filing an affidavit complying with its August 22 order on stray dogs.
In its August 22 order, the top court expanded the scope of the stray dogs case beyond the confines of DelhiāNational Capital Region (NCR) and directed that all states and Union Territories be made parties in the matter. Modifying its August 11 order, the apex court had ordered the release of stray dogs after sterilisation. In its order on August 11, the top court had directed authorities to shift all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to shelters, sparking protests across the national capital.
