VHP seeks action against those involved in illegal beef trade
The HinduThe Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the Bajrang Dal, and the Hindu Jagarana Vedike have threatened of launching a district-wide protest if the Dakshina Kannada administration fails to take action against those involved in illegal beef trade. Talking to reporters here on Thursday, Puneetraj Attavar, Bajang Dal Mangaluru division convener, said that following a tip-off by the Bajrang Dal activists, the Mangaluru police rescued 19 head of cattle from a house in Krishnapura 8th Block on July 7 and seized over 100 kg of beef. As the city police delayed in taking follow-up action against the illegal abattoir, the Sangh Parivar organisations gave a call for a protest on Thursday. “We want effective action by the State government to curb illegal beef trade, which is flourishing in the city,” he said, and demanded action against illegal abattoirs.
