Mangaluru: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal on Wednesday September 9 slammed the police department over the issue of cattle trafficking and alleged that the police have been acting under pressure from higher-ups in handling such cases.
Provincial Goraksha Pramukh of VHP, Kateel Dinesh Pai said, " Police officials do not take any action against culprits inspite of given information. They say that their higher authorities have asked them not to conduct raids on slaughter house. The police department and the government are indirectly supporting cow slaughter. VHP and Bajarang Dal strongly condemn this."
"Cow slaughtering hurts the religious sentiments of Hindus. So those who indulge in such acts should be put behind bars under sec 295A (deliberate acts intended to outrage religious sentiments). We strongly demand this," he added.
Jagadish Shenava, district president of VHP, Gopal Kuthar, Pradeep Pumpwell, Bajrang Dal leader and others were present.
