UP: CM Yogi Stands With Anti-Slaughter Law Even After HC Accuses Of Misuse
Addressing an election-rally ahead of by-polls, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said, anyone who kills bovines will be sent to jail. Calling cow-slaughter "unacceptable" he said, “Protecting cows is everyone’s responsibility”. The comments came in a day after Allahabad High-Court slammed UP government over misusing anti-cow slaughter law. The court, while hearing a plea by one of the accused in cow slaughtering, noted that the law was being widely misused.
