Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Wildlife) S W H Naqvi said: I was told there was some demonstration,but nobody came to me with anything.

Asked why nobody met Naqvi,Benazir from the PETA Media and Celebrity wing said,We only wanted to hold a silent protest,didnt want any negativity. Our representations are already with the government,which is not doing enough to release the elephant.
