Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking the central government to repeal the new restrictions against cattle slaughter, terming it an intrusion into the rights of states.
“I request you to kindly intervene in this matter and repeal the newly-imposed restrictions, so that the lives and livelihoods of millions of our fellow countrymen can be protected, while safeguarding the fundamental principles of our Constitution,” Vijayan said in his two-page letter to Modi .
He also pointed out that in Kerala, vast majority of the population consumes meat, as well as in all other South Indian and northeast Indian states.
