Amidst chaos in assembly, Karnataka government tables bill banning cow slaughter in the state
Bengaluru: Amidst protests from the opposition parties Congress and JD(S), the BJP government in the state on Wednesday tabled the bill banning cow slaughter in the state.
After Minister of Animal Husbandry Prabhu Chauhan presented the bill, Leader of Opposition and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah objected to the speaker of the assembly Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, adding that it was decided by the committee of the assembly to present only relevant bills during the session.
Siddaramaiah further added that it was not right to present a new bill all of a sudden during the session as against the resolution made by the committee members.
Replying to the objection of Siddaramaiah, the speaker added that if there were any bills with significant importance it could be tabled on Wednesday and Thursday, hence he allowed the government to proceed with it.
Congress members led by Siddaramaiah and JD(s) members marched towards the speaker’s seat and protested against the presentation of the bill and the attitude of the government. This was followed by an altercation between the members of the ruling party and opposition parties. Slogans were shouted against the government by opposition party members and the ruling party shouted slogans against the members of the opposition as Prabhu Chavan presented the bill amidst chaos in the assembly.
The speaker had to adjourn the assembly for 10 mins due to the chaos.

Mumbai police arrest actor Sahil Khan in Mahadev betting app case
Mumbai, Apr 28: The Mumbai cyber cell's SIT on Sunday arrested actor Sahil Khan in connection with the Mahadev betting app case, a police official here said.
The actor was apprehended from Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh on Saturday after the Bombay High Court rejected his pre-arrest bail plea, he said.
He was subsequently brought to Mumbai and placed under arrest, the official said.
Khan was recently questioned by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed in connection with the case.
The actor, known for films like ‘Style’ and ‘Excuse Me’, has become a fitness expert.
The Mumbai police had earlier arrested one person in connection with the case, the official said.
Khan is the second person to be arrested by the city police in the case, he said.
The SIT has been conducting a probe into the alleged illegal transactions between certain financial and real estate firms in the state and the promoters of the controversial Mahadev betting app.
The size of the scam is about Rs 15,000 crore, as per the first information report (FIR) registered by the Matunga police here in the case.
An investigation is underway against Khan and 31 other individuals. The probe involves examining their bank accounts, mobile phones, laptops, and all technical equipment, according to the police.
While the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating money laundering angle in the Mahadev betting app case, Mumbai police have registered a separate case against 32 persons.
Notably, Chhattisgarh’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB)/Economic Offence Wing (EOW) on April 24 said it has arrested two persons - from New Delhi and Goa - in connection with the alleged illegal operations of the Mahadev online gaming and betting application that purportedly involved senior politicians and bureaucrats from that state.
The ED has separately arrested nine persons so far as part of its probe in the money laundering-linked case.
