Will punish those who interfere in legal procurement of beef: Parrikar

Panaji, Jan 11: In an apparent snub to 'gau rakshaks', Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday said that if anybody who interferes in the legal import of beef would be punished.

He said this a day after meat traders in the state withdrew their strike called to protest harassment by cow vigilantes.

The beef traders called off their four-day-long strike yesterday, citing assurance by the police that they would not allow harassment of dealers who import beef from Belagavi in Karnataka at the state border. The strike had created the scarcity of beef in Goa.

The traders resorted to the protest after Gau Raksha Abhiyaan, a non-governmental organsiation, had allegedly targeted trucks carrying beef from Karnataka, claiming that animals are slaughtered in illegal slaughterhouses across the state border.

Supply from Karnataka

"I will see to it that if anyone interferes in the legal import (of beef), I will ensure that he is punished," the chief minister told reporters when asked about the incidents where vehicles carrying beef were stopped by cow vigilantes on the Goa-Karnataka border.

The slaughter houses in Karnataka had refused to supply meat till the Goa government took steps to stop the harassment by cow vigilante groups. Around 25 tonnes of beef is brought to Goa from Belagavi every day.

The chief minister said he had asked the police to go strictly by law.

"I have told police that they have to go by law. Legal provisions say that if there are documents and if there is proper billing, you cannot stop anyone from importing things," he said.

Legal documents

Parrikar said the police must check legal documents related to the commodity (beef) at the state border. "If everything is proper, no one should be allowed to interfere," he said in an oblique reference to the cow vigilante groups.
