Animal rights activist & BJP leader Maneka Gandhi urged the Chief Justice of India to review the decision with love and mentioned that "our goals are the same.
While talking to ANI, Maenka Gandhi highlighted that removing the dogs from the region is not enough and added, "...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." (ANI)

Guwahati Police summons ‘The Wire' editor despite Supreme Court protection
The Crime Branch in Guwahati has issued a summons to The Wire 's founding editor Siddharth Varadarajan in a first information report pertaining to an article on Operation Sindoor. The summons, issued on August 12, came despite the Supreme Court granting protection from arrest to Varadarajan and members of the foundation running the news outlet in another FIR filed by the Assam Police. Ankur Jain, the joint commissioner of police in Guwahati, told Scroll that the summons was issued as the Supreme Court order had come on a case filed in 'some other district'. In the latest notice, Varadarajan has been directed to appear before the investigating officer at the Crime Branch Police Station in Panbazar on August 22 at 11.30 am. The earlier case against Varadarajan was registered at Morigaon police station on July 11 under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to acts endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India. It followed the publication of an article about Operation Sindoor titled ''IAF Lost Fighter Jets to Pak Because of Political Leadership's Constraints': Indian Defence Attache'. The fresh summons issued to Varadarajan cites the same charges, in addition to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections pertaining to promoting enmity between different groups, publishing false or misleading information and criminal conspiracy. On August 12, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi granted protection from arrest to Vardarajan while hearing a writ petition challenging the constitutionality of Section 152. The petition was filed by the Foundation for Independent Journalism, which owns The Wire, and Varadarajan. The petitioners argued that the law was a repackaged version of the colonial sedition law. The bench issued a notice to the Union government and tagged the plea with another petition challenging the validity of the provision. Advocate Nitya Ramakrishnan, appearing for the petitioners, argued that the news article was a factual report of a seminar organised by a university in Indonesia and statements made by an Indian defence attaché on the military tactics used during Operation Sindoor. She added that the article also carried the Indian embassy's response to the defence attaché's remarks, which had also been reported by several other news outlets. In May 2022, the Supreme Court had ordered proceedings and criminal prosecutions for sedition under Section 124A of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code to be kept in abeyance. Critics have argued in the Supreme Court, in a separate matter, that Section 124A was slipped in again into the law in the guise of Section 152 when the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced the Indian Penal Code in July 2024.

Lok Sabha adjourned till 12 noon amid noisy protests by Opposition
New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday following vociferous protests by opposition parties demanding a discussion on the voter roll revision in Bihar and other issues. When the House met at 11 am, opposition MPs, including those from the Congress, were on their feet, raising slogans and showing placards with their demand for discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. Initially, Speaker Om Birla tried to continue the business of the House — Question Hour — by allowing members to ask six questions related to several union ministries and departments amidst the din. After about 15 minutes of proceedings, the Speaker asked the protesting members to go back to their seats and warned that if they try to damage government properties, he would be forced to take strong action against them. 'No one has the right to damage government properties. If you try to do so, I will be forced to take action," he said, adding there were instances in some assemblies where action had been taken against members for damaging government properties. It was not immediately clear as to what the speaker was alluding to. Birla also said that the kind of force the opposition members were using in sloganeering, it would have been good had they used similar kind of force in raising people's welfare issues. As the opposition MPs ignored his pleas, the Speaker adjourned the House till 12 noon. The opposition has been demanding a discussion on the SIR exercise initiated by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections there. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21 due to repeated adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then demanding a discussion on SIR.
