Cow slaughter now punishable with life in jail in BJP’s Gujarat

[hafeezrocks]

The Gujarat assembly on Friday passed a bill enhancing punishment for cow slaughter from the present seven-year jail term to life imprisonment.

The amendments -- which give Gujarat the harshest law in the country to protect cattle -- include a fine of up to Rs 1 lakh and permanent confiscation of the vehicle used for transportation. The offence is also likely to be made cognizable and non-bailable

The issue has been central theme of chief minister Vijay Rupani’s public speeches amid speculation that the party will push for an early state election.

“During this auspicious occasion of Chhetri Navratri, the government, on suggestions of several sadhu-sants, has made amendments to the Gujarat Animal Protection (Amendment) Act, 2011. This is the harshest law in the country,” said minister of state for home Pradeepsinh Jadeja.

As the move comes months before the assembly election scheduled for November-December, opposition Congress termed it politically motivated.

“This is not out of concern for cows. The BJP has passed this bill to get votes. Through this bill, it has been proved that BJP is anti-Dalit,” said Congress MLA Shaktisinh Gohi, referring to the flogging of Dalits by self-proclaimed cow vigilantes in Una last year.

The will of the people of Gujarat matters the most here, if that's what they want then so be it.

I'm sure with elections in sometime, BJP will not take a step that can backfire against them

This is modicracy. Yesterday i saw a twitter account named gau mata (mother cow). It had a picture of cows blasting modi for using them for dirty politics.

Also, some patriots in Haryana shut down meat shops, as it is navratra, where people shun meat, onion and garlic for a week. Finally we are progressing towards glorious Hindu rule. Second golden period after the Gupta Age.

Good to see some Indians openly welcoming the transformation of their country into a Hindu Rahstra instead of being subtle about it.

Rule is there from years and 100s cases but only one conviction so far,so really not big deal.
