People use animals to serve their own vested interests without realising that everyone has equal rights in nature, said Gopal Krishan Aggarwal, National Spokesperson of the BJP, and an animal lover. He has been running a Goshala for stray cows in Noida for the last 20 years and also regularly feeds stray dogs in his locality. During the peak coronavirus days, he arranged 200kg khichadi for the dogs on a daily basis. He spoke to Buddy Life magazine about his love for animals and the need for social awareness.
