Government of Indian state to introduce a bill bolstering existing laws against butchering the revered animals

The leader of an Indian state has announced that slaughtering cows and transporting beef will soon be punishable by a life sentence, the harshest penalty yet for crimes against the revered animal in the Hindu-majority country.

The chief minister of Gujarat, Vijay Rupani, said his government would introduce a bill in the next week to bolster existing laws against butchering cows and related crimes. The current punishment is a Rs50,000 fine (£622) and up to seven years in jail.

“We want to make this law more strict,” said Rupani, a member of the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP), a Hindu nationalist party whose elected officials – including the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi – have long championed a national ban on beef consumption.

“In the bill, we will make a provision wherein people found involved in cow-slaughtering as well as transportation of beef will be punished with life imprisonment,” Rupani told a gathering at a Hindu social organisation. “Their vehicles too will be seized permanently.”

If any Indian claim 'bharat is a secular country' anymore,he should be pelted with rotten tomatos and eggs.Such a bloody hypocrite and cheater.

'bharat is a secular country'

Maharashtra, South India are the only tolerant places left in India. Like Wahabbi Islam, RSS Hinduism has replaced North India. RSS Hindu is no different than an ISIS supporter. #RSSisISIS

I think it's ridiculous. Cow slaughter should not have a punishment more than a fine.

 

[ranjeet]

I wholeheartedly welcome this move. Better late than never.

I hope We can implement ban on Cow slaughter as Mahatma Gandhi wanted all over country.

 

[gayMo]

Cow slaughter is the blasphemy law of india. Stupidity at its core

 

[gayMo]

Well, at least you are going to jail (for a few months) (I know for life punishment is the punishment the proposer asks for but it will not be the law though) for killing one animal.

But at least you are not sent to heaven by Govt. for making drawing of a human whom you have never seen or never has an idea as to how he look like. Just draw a human sketch and name it (you all know who) and you will be sent to heaven (the fellow), though the persons who will sent you will announce that you have been sent to hell.

That is an equal stupid law in my opinion. Blasphemy should also be condemned.

Our country ;our rules

Muslims can eat Chicken and Goat Meat

Why this Lust for Cow meat

In India Muslim Population is growing Steadily

There is NO shortage of food for Muslims

 

[Stephen Cohen]

No that's not justifiable.we as humans have vested in ourselves a right to kill any animal we choose. I am vegetarian by the way. Yes you can have a law to protect the cow but he punishment is excessive. Giving an alternative does not make this law right

Every law can be challenged in the Supreme Court

Punishment can vary according to the gravity of the situation

Only Jail term acts as a deterrent

For instance there are Thieves who steal Small calves at Night and Run away
Slaughter them and beef is cooked

Such people dont deserve any mercy

If you have not eaten a good beef stake. Then I think you are missing a good adventure in your life.

Every person has different tastes in Life

We Humans are totally different from each other ; we have different DNA

There are many people who find Vegetarian food to be More Tasty and delicious than
Non Veg Food

That is why More Indians prefer Vegetarian food

@Robinhood Pandey I am here letting go your above post that deserve another warning but I am not using the authority so let me remind you that you want transparency then play by the rules that says, report the offensive/trolling posts without quoting back (without doing the same thing in return) and move-on so I will be happy to see that if you did otherwise, no need to play a victim card.

Some with some good bacon, you are missing a good adventure in your life

I eat Turkey bacon but feel not tasty. Bacon is not our taste.

Turkey in general tends to be a dry meat, I prefer bacon myself as its juicy compared to Turkey.
