Delhi: Protests continue over SC order on dogs

Protesters gathered at Central Park near India Gate on Saturday evening against the Supreme Court's recent order to shift all street dogs in the city to shelters. Animal lovers during a protest against the recent order by the Supreme Court to authorities in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) to start picking up stray dogs from all localities and relocate the animals to dog shelters, at Connaught Place(PTI) Protesters, largely animal rights activists and dog lovers, said they had assembled around 6pm with banners and were assaulted by Delhi Police personnel at the site. 'Security personnel came to us and asked us to leave. All the exits of Central Park were shut and only one exit gate was open. While we were leaving through the only exit gate, they started assaulting us, even women. We were stuffed inside a few buses and later released at Jantar Mantar and Jhandewalan at around 7–7.30pm,' Divya Puri, co-founder of the Karan Puri Foundation, said. Purported videos circulated on social media by the group showed uniformed officials hitting protesters and dragging them into buses. Activists said women were also subjected to verbal abuse and assault. 'The protesters were gathered peacefully. The police deployment was as much as the people gathered there. They abused and assaulted us and tried to tear our clothes. Is gathering peacefully also banned now?' asked Tarana Singh, another activist. A senior Delhi Police officer, meanwhile, said holding protests inside Central Park is prohibited and the gathering had no permission to do so. The protesters allegedly charged at officers first and the police retaliated, the officer added. An FIR under Section 223 (disobedience of order by a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered against the protesters, the fifth such case in connection with similar demonstrations. Deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Devesh Kumar Mahla said Section 163 (issuing orders in urgent cases of nuisance) of the BNSS has been imposed in New Delhi area because of the ongoing parliament session. 'We are bound by law to take action when there is a protest at places which are not designated for protests,' he said. When asked about videos of a female sub-inspector hitting a protester inside a detention bus, the first officer claimed that an inquiry was initiated and it was found that the protester had struck first, following which the SI retaliated.

Disturbing that PM's I-Day speech didn't have Nehru's mention: Pawar

1 2 Pune: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech and said not mentioning the name of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was "disturbing". "I heard the Prime Minister's speech from the Red Fort. It was very disturbing that he did not mention Nehru in his entire speech," Pawar said in a private function in Pune, reacting to Modi's speech. "Nehru gave important years of his youth to the freedom struggle of India. After independence, he led the country and spread the message of peace worldwide. Even after his immense contribution, his name was not taken by the Prime Minister, which was unfortunate," the veteran politician said.

We sign and enter Parliament only to witness it getting adjourned after a ruckus. It is not a healthy sign for democracy." He said, "For the first time in our history, 300 MPs came together for a peaceful protest. It included Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and members from other parties as well, but we were detained and taken to the police station. The fight is to save democracy. If those in the govt do not find it important, then we, as opposition, will have to keep raising our voice." Speaking at the private event organised to celebrate the 81st birthday of senior Congress member and former MLC Ulhas Pawar, Sharad Pawar said, "All his life, Ulhas Pawar walked on the path shown by Gandhi-Nehru. He also maintained a healthy communication with personalities from other fields such as literature and the Warkari community. It is essential for the country to continue its journey on the path of Gandhi and Nehru. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
