“If the Government decides to ban on cow slaughter only for the reason that cow is a sacred animal for Hindus, it also should impose a similar ban on swine slaughtering as it is a filthy animal for the Muslims”, he said, reminding that this state and country belong not only to Hindus but also to Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and seculars.
Alleging the State Government led By Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa of exploring the politics of vote bank through anti-cow-slaughter bill, he clarified that those who raise their voice against the this bill are not fighting for Muslims but for the integrity of the society.
Speaking on the occasion, Abdul Azeem, a Member of Legislative Assembly said that there are approximately six thousand abattoirs in the state, where more than six thousand animals are being slaughtered for the sake of food. And if an anti-cow slaughter law is imposed in the state, a huge amount of money turnover will be stopped which will directly affect farmers.
