Bengaluru, Aug 21: State animal husbandry minister Prabhu Chauhan, said that the bill to ban cow slaughter in the state will be tabled in the next monsoon session and approval of the legislature will be obtained.
Speaking to media persons Chauhan said that placing a ban on cow slaughter is on the party's agenda. "We will not dither even if the Congress opposes the move. Our own party is in power both at the centre and the state. Therefore, we will implement the law and protect the cows," he explained.

He said that irrespective of what strategies the Congress will employ, his party will move the bill and obtain approval of the legislature. He said that the Act would have been implemented in 2012 but for the impediments created by the then Congress government in power at the centre for its passage.
