Yogi Adityanath’s First step: Bans Muslims from Selling Meat
Global Village Space
Yogi Adityanath, the new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India, who is known for his vitriolic anti-Muslim language, has started in his first week in office with a crackdown on ‘illegal meat slaughterhouses’.
On March 22, an order was issued by the state government to all district magistrates, divisional commissioners, senior police officers, and Municipal Corporation for the inspection of slaughterhouses; this was exactly three days after Yogi Adityanath took oath as the chief minister.
Five days after the state government started its crackdown on illegally run slaughterhouses in Uttar Pradesh, more than half of its licensed slaughterhouses have also been “temporarily closed” for not meeting their terms for operation.

While there are 44 licensed slaughterhouses in the state, 26 have been “temporarily shut down” for not following the basic rules and guidelines laid down for operation, transportation, and processing of slaughtered animals.
Chief Secretary of the state, Rahul Bhatnagar said, “As many as 26 licensed slaughterhouses have been shut down during the last five days, as they were not following the set rules. It is not a permanent closure… They have been temporarily closed and would be allowed to function once they follow all norms.”
