Bengaluru: Karnataka Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar has said the BJP government in the State is mulling bringing back the anti-cow slaughter law.
Stating that cows were like a member of the family and it was a ‘crime’ to kill them, he added that cow dung acts as a disinfectant.
Dubbing cow slaughter a ‘sin’, the minister said he would request Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to ban slaughtering of the animal in the State.
“Cow is like a member of the family and its a crime to kill cows,” he said at a function to inaugurate a ‘Goshala’ in Chikkaballapura.
Also, there was a need for people’s movement to create awareness against cow slaughtering, he said and added: “Being Indians, all state governments should ban cow slaughtering.”
