<b>Maneka Gandhi seeks action against Saudi diplomat </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi, Oct 12: Animal Rights activist and Member of Parliament<b> Maneka Gandhi on Thursday sought action against a Saudi Arabian diplomat from whose residence in South Delhi a neelgai was recovered during a raid.</b>
In separate letters to Saudi ambassador to India Saleh Mohd al Ghamdi and Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon, Gandhi said she would take up the matter in Parliament also.
When the matter is brought to Parliament, "<b>I am sure that there will be great disapproval voiced by all parties. Before that happens, it is necessary for your embassy to show that it respects our country," </b>she said in her letter to the Saudi ambassador.
"It is appalling that a junior diplomat should break the laws of the country that he is posted in. I am sure that the Saudi Government would not tolerate an Indian diplomat breaking their laws," the letter said.

<b>The neelgai is protected under schedule iii of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
