Will hang those who dare to slaughter cows, says Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh [Video: A 15 second clip] Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on Saturday declared that those who slaughter cows will be “hanged” as an increasing number of states are mulling a crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses and a ban on cow slaughter. “Does such a thing happen in Chhattisgarh? I don't think it has happened in the last 15 years (of BJP rule). Jo maarenge unko latka denge (Will hang those who slaughter cows),” Raman Singh said when asked whether the state is mulling a crackdown on cow slaughter. Slaughter of cow, buffalo, bull, bullock, calf, and possession of their meat is banned in Chhattisgarh. Transport, export to other states for slaughter is also banned. These offences attract same punishment of 7 years' jail and fine up to Rs 50,000. AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday questioned the BJP and claimed that it was "hypocrisy" that the BJP has banned cow slaughter in Uttar Pradesh but no such step is likely to be taken in the North East if they come to power there next year. “Uttar Pradesh mein gaai mummy hai, aur North East mein yummy hai? (In Uttar Pradesh, the cow is mummy, but in North East it is yummy?) What is this if not hypocrisy on part of the BJP?” Owaisi questioned. Soon after assuming office, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had ordered strict enforcement of the ban on cow slaughter and smuggling. Slaughter of buffaloes for meat is, however, allowed in the state. Buffalo meat trade in the state has been badly hit by the clampdown on illegal abattoirs. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
