Karnataka Cabinet Passes Anti-cow Slaughter Ordinance, to be Sent to Guv for Approval
FOLLOW US ON:
The Karnataka cabinet on Monday decided to promulgate an ordinance to give effect to the contentious anti-cow slaughter bill that is yet to be approved by the legislative council. Once it comes into effect, there will be a blanket prohibition of slaughter of cows in the state.
However, slaughter houses will continue to function and beef consumption will not be prohibited with respect to buffalo meat. The anti-cow slaughter law is not new. We have had it for decades. Previously, there was a ban on slaughter of cows until the age of 13. We have extended it with an intention that older cows should not be left out. Since the prohibition does not extend to buffaloes, there is no ban on beef consumption, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy said.
