Members of the citizens group Prathikarana Vedi assembled before the Kerala assembly saying that Bush calling his cat India was an insult to the country.
"This is a disgrace to our great country and this has come from none other than US President George W. Bush. This is nothing but an insult to India because there are hundreds of thousands of Indians in US, and many who occupy key posts in the White House," said M.A. Latheef, president of the group.
"He should make amends," Latheef added.
The members of the group walked to the front gate of the assembly building but were stopped by police. After a brief speech and some slogans, the members burnt an effigy of the US president.
That cat would look great with a viking helmet on him.
Dead bodies rotting in the street in Calcutta, and this is all they can whine about?
A real pet.
Second of all, what is worse, naming a cat India (and she wasn't even named after the country!) or burning a world leader in effigy?
Hmmm? Maybe these "youths" need something more productive with which to while away the idle hours.
Just damn?

Doing the latter serves to take their mind off the former.
Uh oh--I had a dog named Apache...
Dang! Another duplicate. Fingers faster than brain.
Dear Citizens of India: Please tell me what would offend you more than the president naming his cat India. Your response will become my dog's new name.
And all this time I thought that this was one of our Viking Kittens...?
I had one named Bandit. Criminals everywhere must be offended.
Latheef is an Islamic name. Kerala is a communist stronghold too.
No doubt they want to manufacture an opinion and mislead Indians.
Most of the Indians beheaded by Alqueda were from Kerala.
Now you know why they want make cats name an issue.
If they're so upset, why don't they stop moving into our country? If this works, maybe its time to insult some more countries.
All the Wilkes girls looked like rabbits, if I recall MM's story telling correctly.
The whoo woo Indians own the casinos. Not the dotheads.
Just wait until they found out the number of girls in America named after their continent too...
"key posts"...locksmiths?
Oh fer cripes sake Ping
Kind of makes me glad that I gave away the cat I owned named China.
