Firstpost  

The opposition parties in Kerala have slammed the Pinarayi Vijayan government for its “inaction against the stray dog menace” in the state, and called for killing stray dogs to solve the problem Thiruvananthapuram: The opposition parties have slammed the Pinarayi Vijayan government for, what they called, its “inaction against the stray dog menace” in the state, which has claimed at least 10 lives so far. Moving leave for an adjournment motion, Indian Union Muslim League legislator PK Basheer from the opposition ranks in a beautifully presented speech, laced with his characteristic humour, slammed the government and Local Self Government Minister KT Jaleel for inaction on the menace of stray dogs. Today it’s like police arrive on the scene in a flash when people kill a dog, while if a murder takes place, they take their own sweet time,” Basheer said. Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said the vaccine mafia is also very strongly behind this “dog lovers” campaign, as Kerala is a Rs 200-crore annual market for them and hence multiple interests are involved.
