Mangalore, May 25: Speakers at a protest meet in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Friday evening lashed out at what they called the communal and anti-human policies of BJP led Karnataka government.

The demonstration was organized by the Karnataka Komu Sauharda Vedike and various other likeminded organisations to protest the state government's attempt to reintroduce its early anti-cattle slaughter bill with some amendments and the police inaction in the case of alleged Bajrang Dal attack against a lecturer in Mangalore.

DK district president of the Vedike Suresh Bhat Bakrabail released a memorandum addressed to chief minister of Karnataka on behalf of the people urging him not to reintroduce the controversial 'Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Prevention of Cattle Bill 2010.

Speaking on the occasion Meat Traders Association president Ali Hasan said that police and government have been continuously harassing meet traders and eaters only with the intention of spreading disharmony in the society.

“If it is illegal for us to transport cattle from one place to another place, let the government arrange proper transportation facility for cattle”, he said.

State secretary of Vedike K L Ashok said that the proposed bill goes against the fundamental right of a human being to choose his own food.

“It is one of the principal items on the agenda of the Sangh Parivar, the object being to change the food habits of the backward classes, the Dalits and minorities. It seeks to thrust the religious beliefs of one particular community on the other communities. This is against the secular ethos of the Indian constitution”, he said.

Stating that beef is a traditional food of nearly 60% of the state's population, he warned that the implementation of anti-slaughter law would result in untold suffering to a majority of the people.

Terming the anti-slaughter bill as “anti-human”, he said such laws only hamper the building of a strong and healthy society.

“The BJP led government wants to project entire Muslim community as criminals through proposing such moves”, he added.
