    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in regard to the attacks at Lawalu on 9th August, 2009, a preliminary unconfirmed report indicates that two people whose names have not been established might have unfortunately lost their lives and three others injured. Identification of the two who lost their lives and the three who were injured has been made difficult by unco-operative locals. It is believed that they fear that they may be arrested in connection with the same. Regarding the point raised on being biased, the Government has no bias against any community. At no point was the handling of this incident discriminative. Relating to the question of the steps the Government has taken, I wish to say the following: We have recovered all the stolen head of cattle amounting to 90. Further, the police, with the assistance of local reservists, have intensified patrols in areas hit by rampant cattle rustling. In addition, peace committees have been reinvigorated with the support of local leaders and elders, besides the several barazas which have been held to preempt or forestall and avert any future attacks. Regarding the question on our allowing the pastoralist to graze their livestock in the parks, the Government does not intend to allow pastoralists to graze livestock in the parks due to the following reasons. (i) It poses a security threat to the tourists visiting the parks."
