Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on December 29 took to Twitter on the passage of the anti-cow slaughter bill in the State’s assembly.

He tweeted that ‘passing the bill without discussion reflects the coward nature of Bharatiya Janata Party.’ Adding that the BJP is afraid of being exposed if a debate is held on the floor of the house.

He further tweeted “BJP’s only motive is to implement anti-cow slaughter bill and to gain political advantage by creating communal tensions and to protect anti-social elements who disturb social harmony in the name of the cow. BJP leaders neither have concern nor devotion towards cow.”

He further questioned, “There is a ban on cow slaughter but there is no restriction to consume or sell beef. What drama are BJP leaders trying to play? Chief Minister of Karnataka should answer whether he shall restrict importing beef or not?”

“Ban on Cow slaughter does not affect farmers but also shall have an adverse impact on leather manufacturers. There shall be a shortage of raw materials and will ruin their industry. Lakhs of families depending on this industry shall go out of work” the former chief minister added.

He went on “BJP which advocates one language and one religion should have implemented same anti-cow slaughter bill in the entire country. If BJP is brave enough, they should bring similar laws in Goa and North Eastern States also. Also, bring ban on exports.”

Siddaramaiah ended with, “The government has said it is willing to look after aged cows, but how many cow shelters are there in the State? How many new cow shelters shall be opened? How much of the budget has been allocated for this? Chief Minister of Karnataka should answer.”

The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill (2020) was passed in the assembly on December 9 without any discussion. It received a lot of criticism since then.
