Karnataka Legislative Council to Hold One-day Session Tomorrow, Anti-cow Slaughter Bill Likely to be Tabled

News 18  

The Karnataka Legislative Council will on Tuesday hold a one-day session, after it suddenly got adjourned sine-din on December 10. Discussion on flood relief and contentious anti-cow slaughter bill is on Council’s agenda, apart from regular businesses like question and zero hour. The Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, which has come to be known as the anti-cow slaughter bill that has been passed by the assembly despite stiff opposition from the Congress, has been framed to bring in stringent punishment including jail for slaughter of cows, calves, bulls and buffaloes. Even though the contentious anti-cow slaughter bill is mentioned in the agenda, it remains to be seen whether the BS Yediyurappa-led government may or may not go ahead with tabling it.
