Welfare Party of India has urged President Pranab Mukherji to direct the Union government to take action to protect Muslims and Dalits from gau rakshaks.

Submitting a memorandum through the Deputy Commissioner, members of the party said that there have been incidents in which innocent Muslims were beaten to death by gau rakshaks in the name of protecting cows.

People of these communities are facing a severe life threat from particular groups which indulge in such action claiming that they are protecting cows, they said and demanded immediate action to protect Muslims and Dalits and ensure their safety.
