Mangaluru Oct 15: Youth Congress president Mithun Rai that Sangh Parivar should protest against central government against slaughterhouse row if they have courage.
Addressing the media here on Monday October 15, Mithun Rai said, "Our country stands is one of the topmost beef exporters in the world and most of these companies exporting companies belong to BJP MPs. If Sangh Parivar has more concern for cow, let them protest against the central government,”
"Minister U T Khader only recommended the plan of slaughterhouse development under Smart City project. Taking up this issue, VHP district president abused the minister over slaughterhouse row. The recommendation of slaughterhouse was taken up with the purpose of maintaining cleanliness. BJP MPs and ministers could have stopped the proposal earlier also as BJP rules at the Centre. In order to gain political mileage and as Lok Sabha elections are approaching, they are protesting against slaughterhouse row,” he added.
"Illegal cow transportation needs to be controlled. In the recent illegal cow transportation incidents at Vittal, Kavoor and Karkala, we are all aware which organisation the arrested persons belonged to. Only 5% of people are involved in illegal business, but the rest 95% get bad name out of it,” Mithun Rai said.
MCC members Praveen Chandra Alva, Congress leader Santhosh Shetty and others were present.
