January 30, 2017

Addressing media persons in the city on Monday, the 79-year-old outspoken leader hailed the contributions of 85-year-old Krishna to the party and the state, but dubbed the latter's decision to bid goodbye to the party as ablunder'.

At the same time Mr Poojary admitted that Mr Krishna was not given a fair treatment by the Congress and was sidelined too. He also held contemporary Congress leaders responsible for the exit of veterans from the party.

“We know that you (Krishna) are an able leader. Whatever you spoke at the recent press conference was truth. But, being such a great leader, you should not have quit the party. That was a blunder. We could have fought together to save the party," said Mr Poojary, who is equally unhappy with Siddaramaiah.

Mr Poojary also exhorted Mr Krishna to reconsider his decision and warned him against joining any other party. “You can be an asset for opposition parties. But, in fact they are waiting to finish you completely. If BJP really loves you, let them make you President of India,” he said.

Describing Siddaramiah, as aShani' or curse to the Congress party, Mr Poojary promised his complete support to Mr Krishna to fight against thearrogance' of chief minister. “To save Congress in Karnataka, we need to kick out Siddaramiah,” he said.

Karnataka govt mulls ban on cow slaughter, beef consumption

News Network

July 11,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 11: The Bharatiya Janata Party led government of Karnataka is planning to ban cow slaughter as well as the sale and consumption of beef in the state by bringing Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation Bill, 2012.

"Many states have passed the Anti-Cow Slaughter Bill. We are preparing to implement it in Karnataka as well. The state government will soon implement a ban on cow slaughter, sale and consumption of beef on the lines of many other states," said Prabhu Chauhan, the state's Animal Husbandry Minister.

The Anti-Cow Slaughter Act is already in place in several states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh among others.

Last month, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government passed a draft ordinance to prevent cow slaughter, providing maximum rigorous imprisonment of 10 years and a fine up to Rs 5 lakh.
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Cow Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 aims at making the existing Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 more effective towards cow safety.

In Karnataka, the BJP-led government had promised to ban cow slaughter in its manifesto for 2018 state assembly election.

"The government will form a team of experts to look into once the current pandemic situation eases," Chauhan stated, adding that if necessary, the team of experts will visit states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat.

The then BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government had passed the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Protection Bill in 2010 but it failed to get presidential approval. Three years later, the Bill was withdrawn by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.

"I will discuss this matter with Chief Minister and if this pandemic situation eases, by next session, if not by upcoming assembly session, we will try to bring Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill," Chauhan added.
