Peacock is the national bird of India and is also a Schedule I species in the Wildlife (Protection) Act and keeping it as pets is illegal. https://t.co/mNkU8XRqUk
An FIR must be lodged against PM Modi for holding captive a Peacock which is national bird of India & comes under Schedule 1 section 2A of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. pic.twitter.com/G5LdB0urtP

Isn’t it illegal and a Crime in India to have a custody of Peacock??
— Akshay Khomane (@akshaykhomane) August 23, 2020
No wonder the Law & Order is at the worst in India now. When PM himself doesn’t follow the law what we can expect from the common citizen 🤷🤷https://t.co/lBueGpRJmP

Peacock is the National bird of India and under the Wildlife protection Act 1972 it comes under Schedule 1 species!

Keeping Schedule 1 as pets is illegal.

In the midst of an out-of-control #Coronavirus epidemic, 3 million+ cases, ~70k new cases and ~1000 deaths each day why would the Prime Minister of #India put out a video of his walking about his gardens with a #peacock strutting around him?https://t.co/osF3Dqz8cg
— JayEnAar (@GorwayGlobal) August 23, 2020
Wish he could have fed migrant labourers like this, but I guess they don’t make the cut for snazzy media shots. Oh well, say cheese? https://t.co/ddE88ij2im

According to reports, PM Modi has placed Chabootras at his residence, where birds can make their nests and come to feed.
What are your thoughts about the video?
