Mangaluru, Mar 6: Dakshina Kannada member of parliament, Nalin Kumar Kateel, has pressed for enactment of anti cow slaughter law in Karnataka too.
Speaking to media persons at the circuit house here on Thursday March 5, he congratulated the chief minister of Maharashtra for enacting anti cow slaughter legislation. He recalled that when the BJP was ruling Karnataka, it had drafted anti cow slaughter bill, but the governor had sent it to the President for his assent. After Congress government took over, it withdrew the said bill, he said.
'Cows occupy a place of pride from both reliigious angle and agriculture. The government, which wants to give impetus to dairying activity, has taken an opposite stand as far as conservation of cows is concerned,' he said.
He felt that all states including Karnataka should ban cow slaughter.
