"Watch this video to witness the shocking cruelty inflicted upon innocent street dogs by the Modi government in preparation for the G20 summit. Dogs are being dragged by their necks, beaten with sticks and thrown into cages. They are being denied food and water, and they are being subjected to extreme stress and fear. It is imperative that we raise our voices against such appalling acts and demand justice for these voiceless victims." This particular social media post made by the Congress party has become viral. It might hit the 1-million view mark on Twitter anytime.
The Congress party's concern for dogs has divided Netizens. One set of people is arguing that the Grand Old Party is now behaving like an NGO, taking up trivial issues to raise needless alarm. Culling dogs for different reasons has been done by all governments, including states led by the Congress party.
Another set of people is of the view that inhuman and cruel treatment meted out to animals is unforgivable.
There is also the allegation that the video shared by the Congress party's official handle on social media is an old one. "The very essence of the Congress party is India hate. Why else would a party tweet a video made up of random and fake shots? Just to defame India before G-20 summit? See screenshot. 'Mumbai Congress' T-shirt wearing person is passed off as Delhi," wrote columnist Akhilesh Mishra.
