Subject: FIR against INLD candidate Zakir Hussain along with the custodian of male elephant. Greetings, The Election Commission of India (ECI) issued an order banning the use of animals by political parties during campaigns. In an advisory issued, the election commission has asked political parties not to use any animals for campaign in any manner, animal rights group OIPA - Indian People for Animals oipa.org said that following repeated requests by animal activist Naresh Kadian and Sukanya Kadian, the election commission asked political parties and candidates to refrain from using animals for their campaigns. The Commission has received representations from OIPA India, alleging that animals like horses, ponies, donkeys, elephants, camels and bulls are subjected to cruelty in different ways in connection with election campaigns, the election commission advisory stated. It is alleged that the animals are often made to carry loads beyond permissible limits, made to work long hours, and some candidates even paint slogans and election symbols on them using harmful chemicals, the advisory said. The election commission has issued an advisory to all political parties and asked them not to violate the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Bulls, donkeys, elephants and other animals used in election campaigns are commonly beaten, pushed into crowds, overloaded and otherwise abused.”They are also often undernourished and denied adequate food and water. Wounds and other injuries are common”. Animals have no political allegiances and do not deserve to be whipped and forced through crowds or bullied by people who dont agrees with the other partys politics. On September 26, 2014 Ch. Zakir Hussain, candidate of INLD abused male elephant while submitting his nomination, wild animal was badly abused, can damage public property and life due to heavy crowd, public nuisance as well, no permission was obtained from the competent Authorities, where as male elephant abuser custodian also to be booked for the violation of the terms and conditions of the ownership because elephant can not abused for these kinds of political functions read with the section 3, 11 and 38 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and Wildlife Protection Act, 1972; IPC 268, 341,120-B etc., being an non official Member of the State Board for Wildlife, Haryana along with the volunteers of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (Ministry of Environment and Forest), I here by requested you to please lodge FIR against the candidate Zakir Hussain along with the elephant abuser custodian after confiscating the abused elephant, it is further requested that CWLW may kindly take up the matter of cancellation of male elephant ownership, immediate rescue and rehabilitation of this National heritage animal of India. It is further submitted that Notice was issued by the RO at Nuh but SHO failed to lodge FIR against all offenders, where as proof of burden on the accused instead of prosecution, hence we are compelled to issue notice under section 55 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, because National Heritage animal of India cant be abused as vehicle of pride, where as Honble Supreme Court of India uphold animal rights in the recent judgement of Jallikattu, MoEF instructions about elephants are not implemented by Haryana and Delhi, which were issued in 2008, where as constitution of Animal Rights Commission is also required, Honble Court of Law may kindly treat it as Public Interest Litigation. It is also reported that this male Elephant belongs to Delhi, already FIR No. 274 dated 19-8-2012 was lodged with Police Station, Hodal by Naresh Kadian but syndicate of Wildlife official along with elephant custodians are working and this crime was happened with the consultation of Wildlife Inspector of Sohna and CWLW of Delhi, criminal conspiracy against male elephant. Now questions arise: 1. Why elephant ownership was granted to a private person and for what purpose? 2. Whether custodian of an elephant has proper housing facilities for treatment, care and shelter? 3. Whether MoEF instructions which were issued in 2008 properly followed along with the Jaipur Bench of Rajasthan High Court orders banning iron ankush? 4. Whether section 38-H of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 properly implemented? 5. Why elephant was abused for pride, joy rides, publicity tool, as vehicle, personnel gain and profit? 6. Whether custodian of elephant properly trained to handle elephant and properly financial sound, to keep elephant? 7. Whether Delhi and Haryana are natural habitat of the elephants? 8. When elephant presence banned by the Wildlife Department of Maharashtra in Mumbai and Thane then why elephants are being allowed in the urban area’s of Haryana and Delhi? 9. Whether custodian of elephant along with District Administration is competent to handle public nuisance, damage of public life and property because another male elephant became out of control in Delhi at Rajghat? 10. When thorn bits are prohibited by the Government under law then why these male elephant custodians are using ban thorn bits? 11. Why Government functionaries are failed to perform their official duties and does not have resources to keep captive elephants in rescue centers, where as private custodians are abused elephants for their personnel gain and profit? Past incidents: 1. Many captive elephants are being killed in road accidents in Haryana, UP and Delhi. 2. Elephant was caught for begging in Sonipat and FIR was lodged, like wise FIR was lodged with Hodal Police Station and Dhand Police Station in Kurukshetra. 3. Elephant was abused for pride in marriage functions at Palwal. 4. Where are the female elephants missing from Dabhchik and Kurukshetra?
