Kateria had to cut short his speech midway.Congress MLA Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha said, "Assam police could deplane senior Congress leader Pawan Khera in Delhi airport for a 'small' comment, but the same police are totally inactive on Kadu's statement. The Maharashtra MLA had insulted the natives of Assam, yet the government and police could not take a single step."Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi also demanded police action against the Maha MLA. He also questioned Assam government's silence on this issue.Bacchu Kadu, an independent MLA from Achalpur and the leader of the Prahar Janshakti Party, said that all stray dogs from Maharashtra should be relocated to Assam because "the people in Assam consume a lot of dog meat, and it is a practical solution to Maharashtra's canine population problem".Kadu made the comments in response to a debate in the Maharashtra Legislature about the threat posed by street dogs, which was brought up by MLAs Pratap Sarnaik and Atul Bhatkhalkar.tdr/uk/Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
