Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (September 12, 2025) during an event held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi took a sarcasm on animal rights activists and also highlighted his selected attitude towards animals. PM Modi said that recently I met some animal lovers, people started laughing as soon as they spoke.

PM Modi said why are you laughing? There are many such people (animal lover) in our country and the special thing is that most of them do not consider cows as animals. On his statement, all the people present including Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat laughed. The Prime Minister’s remarks have come under the backdrop of the debate arising out of the Supreme Court’s directive in Delhi-NCR, in which the stray dogs have been ordered to completely remove the streets and keep them in shelter sites.
