The Rajasthan High Court has asked the cow to declare a national animal. According to the news agency ANI, the High Court has told the Rajasthan government that those who killed the cow by changing the law should be sentenced to life imprisonment.

The High Court made this comment during the hearing of cows in Hinngoniya Gaushala. The High Court has ordered the forest department to plant 5000 plants in the cattle farms every year. At present, there is a provision of 3 years of punishment for cow slaughter.

On May 26, the Narendra Modi government banned the purchase of cattle in the cattle markets for the slaughter. Environment Ministry had notified the strict Animal Cruelty Prohibition (Livestock Regulation) rule 2017 under the Animal Cruelty Prevention Act.

But the Madras High Court has stayed the decision of the central government for 4 weeks and has asked for an answer in this regard.

Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court had said that deciding the people's 'food habit' is not the work of the government. While hearing a petition filed against Centre's decision in this regard, Justice MV Muralidharan and Justice CV Karthikeyan had said that selecting the food of their choice is a personal matter of all and no one can interfere in this right.

Many State Governments had opposed the decision to ban the sale of cattle in markets and mandis for slaughter.

West Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee had said that the central government has taken the decision without asking the states. The big controversy broke out in this matter, when in protest against this decision in Kerala's Kannur, Youth Congress workers publicly cut a calf and divided it among the people.

The Youth Congress's program was a protest across the country. Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi himself also condemned it.

Although Congress took action in this matter, two members of his party had shown the way out.

Students in IIT Madras also organized Beef Festival against this decision of the government.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarai Vijayan has also targeted the central government's decision. He said that it is a violation of the constitutional and fundamental authorities of any person.

Vijayan said, "It has to be seen whether the central government has the right to order this order or not."

By banning the purchase of cattle in animal markets for slaughter by the Narendra Modi government, the centre-state relationship will be bad.

Earlier, the demand for independence was only in Kashmir. But now after the Modi government's ban on procurement of cattle, there has been a demand for Dravidnadu on Twitter in which demand for a separate country, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Telangana, is being sought.

The demand for Dravidnadu was made in 1940 by Periyar from the British. People had forgotten the demand of Dravidnadu after independence in 1947, but after the ban on procurement of cattle from the Modi Government, demand for Dravidnadu was started again.
