Watch: BJP Following Dual Standards on Same Issue: Owaisi
- Owaisi points out BJP’s different standards in different parts of the country on the same issue
Hyderabad, Apr 01: AIMIM Chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday slammed Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) over the issue of cow slaughter in the BJP-ruled states.
Owaisi accused BJP for not banning the beef in the Northeast for their political gains and added that it is only considered as mother in Uttar Pradesh. The MP also said that BJP targets the meat-sellers in general and the Muslim community in particular.
It is to mention here that earlier this week, Nagaland BJP chief Visasolie Lhoungu had also said that ban on cow slaughter like the one in UP won’t take effect in Nagaland if the saffron party comes to power in the state next year.
On Friday, BJP-ruled Gujarat also passed a bill that could jail a person for 14 years for “cow slaughter.”
“We have equalled killing of a cow or cow progeny with killing of a human being,” a Gujarat minister told The Economic Times.
After taking over the reins of power in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government banned all the illegal slaughterhouses evoking protest by the opposition parties who alleged that the BJP was trying to implement its Hindutva agenda in the state.
