Indians should take a relief from this news. Cattle smugglers will have hard time this time to bring Indian cows to Bangladesh.

The government has decided to halt smuggling of cattle from India to ensure fair price for local farmers and traders during the Eid-ul-Azha.




The decision was taken at an inter-ministerial meeting chaired by State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Md Ashraf Ali Khan Khasru at the Secretariat in Dhaka on Tuesday, the ministry said in a media release.

Bangladesh now has more cattle than the possible demand during Eid, which may fall on Aug 12, a date subjected to the appearance of the moon, according to the ministry.

It assumes 11 million cattle will be slaughtered this Eid while the number of cattle is about 11.8 million.

During Eid last year, 10.5 million cattle were slaughtered after the farmers and traders prepared 11.5 million, according to the ministry.

The government is doing all that is necessary to ensure supply of healthy cattle and safe trading during Eid, the release said.

“It has been decided that all sorts of intake of cattle, both legal and illegal, through the borders will remain halted until Eid-ul-Azha to safeguard the interests of the cattle sellers of the country,” it added.

In the meeting, officials claimed the number of cattle arriving from India has significantly dropped as Bangladesh has achieved self-sufficiency in meat.

In 2018, Bangladesh received 92,000 cows from India while the number had been up to 2.5 million annually in previous years.

Indians will be screaming: Jai sri ram ab hoga musalmano ka kam tamam...

I would like to see this properly executed.
In all likelihood, the cost of paying off BGB and BSF will be more as " there is pressure from the top to curb smuggling !"

As far as Pak is concerned the best part about BD is that the “Original Mujib” is no longer there!!! Now is the time to fight against the “Last Mujibs” - the ultimate proxy traitor terrorists at the hands of the mortal Indian arch enemies....

I wonder if Indian Hindu knows that they are wearing shoes made from t cows skin.

Yes they of course know (thats why leather wear is generally not allowed in temples etc).

If the cattle was not slaughtered, but died of natural causes, why there must be foregoing of its leather? It was not specifically slaughtered, thus its fine. Buddhism extends this concept in permitting consumption of beef by its monks (seeking alms) even (given the animal was not slaughtered specifically for their consumption)....but they cannot consume beef that was knowingly slaughtered for them (they inherit the bad karma from the action).

So that's how leather was traditionally always used inside India, its in a grey area nowadays though, so the person is best judge of what to buy and source the leather in according to the dharma system ethics that they believe in.

I was listening to this program about the leather industry in India and how it has come under attack since Modi took office. Do hindus/Indians who are against killing gao matta work in the industry?

I cant speak to anyone elses personal conscience on the issue. Leather industry has lot of illegal activity going on, so as govt formalises the industry (incl ban of cattle slaughtered specifically for the industry) you will hear all different perspectives on it.

Beyond that....people can best decide for themselves if working whatever job there suits their personal ethics on the issue.

The industry is still doing well even with push to formalise and legalise the supply chains to Indian law:

You are not making any sense what’s so ever. Anyways, your cows, your choice but admit that India is not a secular country.

I will deal with him later, when the right time will come . Let him cross his limit again.

He is a delusional character. He is more dangerous than Riyad guy.

OK, but who is more delusional? Me or the brave party who joined the so called illegal Parliament after Rubbing noes on ground and taking salary as MPs?

It happened after 18/20 "Movement after Eid", still I salute them ( BNP) for their bravery!

 

[Nilgiri]

You are not making any sense what’s so ever.

Obviously you don't know what history leather and animal skins have had in general in dharmic world. You will find pictures of saints sitting on Tiger skin etc. Was the tiger killed for it...or a dead tiger was harvested?

Same applies for cattle in the dharmic conscience. We cannot make use of the animal after it died through nature/old age? Karma argument is always marked first thing on intent of the action.

your choice but admit that India is not a secular country.

No such thing as 100% secular country anywhere in this world....the notion is always theoretical to strive for as much the reality of a pragmatic social condition allows for. We strive for best balance on this. There will be no discrimination based on religion for matters of state.... but is there edict in Islam that slaughter of cattle is a tenet to being Muslim? If not, then some compromise is surely made for better cohesion of society (that has a historic honouring of cattle in the sentiments of the majority)?

Likewise should muslims also have to hypothetically deal with living with pig slaughter happening in their areas for sake of total secularism (even if no other religion mandates that pig slaughter and product sale is intrinsic non-compromise tenet of it).

You can have a long conversation with Azim Premji (would his success exist if India was not secular?) and the likes on it to your hearts content. You can also check what the sentiment is in secular western countries if you start mass slaughter of animals that are honoured in special way there as pets (eg. dogs called man's best friend). Every society has some historical cultural norms right? I mean we need point of reference as to what is the ideal "total" secular state right? If one doesnt exist, then its just we best find compromise. But a state actively enforcing one religion to the religious exclusion of others is only practiced in non-secular states....there is not even a concept of debating compromise and fair tolerance there.

Sire ( Malik) , please fight against the "Last Mujibs", this janisary servant is always for you.. If you need to use sultani language, this termite is with you forever! Elhamdullillah that you haven't forsaken us!

PS: sire ( Malik) are you a Punjabi ottoman or ottoman from another part of Pakistan? Just curious!
