Bengaluru: The 2020’s Bill prohibiting Cow Slaughter, which is due to be tabled at the Legislative Council today (December 15), was undeniably opposed by the JDS National President H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday.

After releasing the press statement, he said: “The Bill prohibiting cow slaughter put forward by the BJP government will not only disturb the peace of society but also wreak havoc in people's lives. Therefore, the JDS will oppose the bill”, Deve Gowda revealed.

“At present, the cow slaughter Prohibition Act-1966 is in force in the entire state. In 2010, the then BJP government tried to change the law. The then opposition, Congress, and JDS had jointly opposed it. I had then met with the governor and the president and demanded that he must not agree to approve the bill. The Governor had then sought clarification. After that, the bill was later withdrawn due to the change in government leadership. With that being said, the old act remains in force.”

Deve Gowda said that, much like in 2010, JDS completely opposes the Cow Slaughter ban, and added that there were ample provisions to prevent cow slaughter in the existing 1964 bill.
