 Varanasi: Cows on the lanes  in Varanasi have complained to their local MP on being hounded by foreigners, who they accuse of clicking too many pictures, often not allowing enough time for  the cows to pose for the camera. These bad pictures have often led to bad publicity and are ruining the “Gau - mata” brand that the Indian cows have enjoyed for centuries.
   
One cow “Champa” appeared to be quite irritated at the way these foreigners keep on clicking pictures before she can even pose for the picture, and to add insult to the injury, they don’t even offer any “Chapattis” or even pat her head after taking pictures in affection as most Indians do !!

     These cows have now formed an association called Indian Cows Against Foreigners (ICAF) and have threatened to wear black coloured bells and protest in front of these foreign embassies in Delhi. This powerful association has also warned the Indian public that they will stop producing milk for them if their complaints are not taken seriously.

    The local MP to whom they complained who is quite influential and a good friend of the External Affairs Minister, is now working on drafting a new set of laws, which will make clicking pictures of a cow without obtaining permission from the External affairs Ministry an offence. He has also stated on record that “We will take all necessary steps to reduce such incidents which threaten our position as a market leader in Dairy products in the world”.

Champa on the other hand is not quite pleased with the current progress that the government is making on the issue, and with some of her bovine friends has already decided to cover the local leader’s compound with her “Gobar” as a mark of protest.
