People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Tuesday (2 April) raised objection over Congress general secretary meeting snake charmers in Rae Bareli and then holding their snakes.
While some social media users admired the courage of Priyanka Vadra, PETA has raised objection over her electoral stunt.
As reported by CNN News18, PETA claims that the snake charmer video is a violation of the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Election Commission has issued guidelines against the usage of animals for election campaigning.
Both the dog and the owner were then taken to the police station and booked under section 171 (A) of the IPC for violating election rules which prohibit campaigning on polling day.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
