Bengaluru, October 15: “The country is in the first place in exporting beef and more than 75 per cent of exporting companies are in the name of Hindus and BJP MPs. If the Sangh Parivar has guts, let it protest against the Centre”, district Youth Congress president Mithun Rai challenged.

Speaking at a press conference here on Monday, Mithun Rai said that if the Sangh Parivar has real concerns towards cows, first it should protest against the centre and BJP leaders. Minister UT Khader had just given his suggestion for developing the slaughter houses in the city under the Smart City Project. But citing this as a reason, the VHP district president has insulted the minister with foul language. This would not bring good to the district politics, he said.

Slaughter house dispute

There was a proposal about the development of slaughter houses within the Smart City Project keeping in mind the cleanliness of the city. The BJP MP and MLAs could have opposed it to include it in the Smart City Project. Even now, there was BJP-led government at the centre. The BJP leaders could change the proposal through Urban Development Ministry. Instead of doing it, the Sangh Parivar and BJP leaders have been protesting the issue just to make it a political issue ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, he alleged.

Illegal cattle transportation should be stopped. But those who were arrested in illegal cattle transportation cases in Maroli, Kavoor, Karkala, Vittla and other places were belong to which organizations? In this illegal business, all communities have the share of at least 5 per cent people. But the remaining 95 per cent of the people have been facing the allegations. He has more than 50 cattle and every year, he would donate them. If the Sangh Parivar people have real concerns, let them rear the animals and show it to others, he challenged.

Corporator Praveen Chandra Alva, leaders Santosh Shetty, Girish Shetty, Kiran, Ramanand Poojary, Neeraj Patil, Premanath and others were present.
