Srinagar, July 3 : Expressing anguish over the increasing attacks on people by stray dogs in his constituency, MLA Langate, Engineer Rasheed has threatened to shift hundreds of stray dogs from his constituency to the courtyards of Ministers and bureaucrats.
"I warn the government of dire consequences if it failed to protect the lives of innocent people", he said in a press statement issued here today.
The MLA said that about 41 people, majority of them children, have been attacked by stray dogs in one day causing critical injuries to them.
He said during last two months hundreds of stray dogs have been brought into remote villages and nearby towns during night hours which has exposed the government machinery to deal with the problem.
"It seems that government had given free hand in 2010 to security forces to kill Kashmiri youth and now in 2012 the same job has been entrusted to stray dogs", he said.
"For killing a single militant, the security agencies use helicopters. However, the rights of esteemed dogs are so protected that no one can dare to throw a stone towards them even if they kill dozens of innocents", he said.
Reminding the incident of a child falling into a well, in Haryana, Rasheed said" when Prince fell into a well whole India was worried and even the Army was pressed into the service to save the 5 year old boy but nobody seems to be worried for the Kashmiri kids who are being bitten and killed by stray dogs".
The angry MLA said, "If government fails to clear my constituency from the stray dogs within 5 days, I with the help of locals, will bundle the stray dogs and throw them in the court yards of ministers and bureaucrats who are more worried about dogs rather than Kashmiri's.
