There is an Indian Government web page where one can

submit comments to

the

office of Prime Minister Vajpayee.

 

http://pmindia.nic.in/writetous.htm

 

Unfortunately, the format for typing comments is very

user-unfriendly,

and

submitting the comments just leads to an error

message. Does anyone

know

either an email address for Prime Minister Vajpayee,

or his full

snail-mail

address? The snail address I have is incomplete (but

would probably

work):

 

Prime Minister

Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee

New Delhi

India

Fax: 011 91 11 3016857

 

Officially, Maneka Gandhi was removed from office

because her post was

deemed to be an " office of profit " and, therefore,

incompatible with

her

status as a Member of Parliament

(http://www.outlookindia.com/pti_news.asp?gid= & id=106840).

In fact, she

was

probably removed not only for her animal rights work,

but also because

she

is at odds with Sonya Gandhi

(http://www.the-week.com/21dec02/events2.htm).

 

Here is a draft of a protest letter:

 

Dear Prime Minister Vajpayee,

 

I am writing to protest at the removal of Maneka

Gandhi from her post

as

Chairperson of the Committee for the Purpose of

Control and Supervision

of

Experiments on Animals. Although the official

explanation of her

removal

from office was that her post was an " office of

profit " and, therefore,

incompatible with her status as a Member of

Parliament, it appears that

Maneka Gandhi's support for the welfare and rights of

animals

contributed

to her removal from office.

 

Maneka Gandhi, while serving in her former post,

pointed out that

" While

millions of animals have been killed in the name of

research in India,

almost 90% of this research has been useless and has

been unnecessary

duplication of research already done abroad " . I urge

you to implement

measures to discontinue this unnecessary animal

experimentation.

 

 

And here is a shorter version, formatted for the

unfriendly web form at

http://pmindia.nic.in/writetous.htm (if anyone gets

that page to work,

I'd

be interested to know):

 

I am writing to protest at the removal of Maneka

Gandhi from her post

as Chairperson of the CPCSEA. Officially, she was

removed because

the post was deemed incompatible with her status as a

Member of

Parliament. But it appears that she was fired because

she promoted

animal rights, and criticised animal experiments,

stating that 90% of

those conducted in India are unnecessary. I urge you

to implement

measures to discontinue these unnecessary animal

experiments.

 

 

If anyone wishes to use either of these texts, or to

improve on them,

please feel free to do so.
